         From DyeStatCal.com (by Rich Gonzalez) - Mission Prep junior Jordan Hasay threw on her spikes for a health test and gave two thumbs up to her performance, a 9:23.90 clocking for 3000 meters that moved her to #15 on the all-time high school list. Hasay, who suffered a foot injury in December, placed sixth in a mixed-gender all-comers race. "I was happy with the personal record but I was hoping to run a little faster," Hasay explained. "I ended up running way too fast at the start." Hasay estimated her opening 200 meters to be about 32 seconds as she got caught up as several collegians bolted out quickly at the race's start. Jameson Mora, a graduate of Canyon HS and Cal Poly, won in 8:35.72 as the first three athletes broke 8:50. Ben Siqueiros, son of Hasay's coach Armando Siqueiros and a friend who has paced her in time trials before, placed fourth in 9:19.29. "The main reason I ran was to test my foot," added Hasay, "and the good news is that I didn't do any damage to it so San Diego is still a go!" Hasay will run in the Juniors race at the USATF Cross-Country Championship this weekend.

                                     Hasay repeats as USA Junior champion             by Kenny Cress, Santa Maria Times Sports Writer

 

         SAN DIEGO - Jordan Hasay went with the lead pack this time and the strategy paid off. Ditching the front runner role she took at the Foot Locker race, the Mission Prep junior ran with the leaders this time through 4 KM and then pulled away to win the USATF Junior Women's Cross Country Nationals in 20:32 at Mission Park. ÒThe pace was pretty slow - 5:30 for the first mile,Ó Hasay said in a post-race interview. ÒThe plan was for me to stay with the pack and make a move later.Ó Hasay stuck with that strategy and reaped another national championship as a reward. Hasay gapped the rest of the lead pack just past 4K. ÒWhen I made a move, the crowd kept yelling to me how much of a lead I had. The course curved around and I could tell how much I was in front. I took it easy a bit down the stretch but my finish still felt strong.Ó Saturday marked Hasay's first successful national title defense. ÒIt feels nice to defend,Ó she said. Hasay hopes to race at the United States Olympic Track and Field Trials in either the 1,500 or 5,000. She has met the 1,500 Trials ÒBÓ qualifying standard with a 4:16.98 but she hopes track preparation will help her cut her time and give her a better shot at making the 30-runner field. ÒI'm really happy about my time today. That's a big PR for me,Ó she said. ÒIt's hard to compare, though, because the race was at altitude last year.Ó Besides being immensely satisfying, her win was painless. Swelling around a metatarsal bone on the ball of her left foot had limited her training for weeks. Hasay said she felt no pain during a 3,000 at Cuesta College last Saturday and none after the race at Mission Park. ÒThe foot is doing fine now,Ó she said. ÒThat's a big relief.Ó Hasay said she is not close to a decision on a college but ÒI'll visit Stanford, Oregon. and Washington during the summer. They're all strong distance schools. Beyond that I'm keeping my options open,Ó she said.
