Freshmen Shine As Lakers Set Season Bests In Wisconsin

WEST ALLIS, Wis. – A Roosevelt freshman placed in the top 12 in both the men's and women's race to lead the Lakers teams to identical fourth-place finishes at the Warrior
Invitational hosted by Wisconsin Lutheran on Saturday in West Allis, Wis.

On the men's side, Rocco Cipolla was just a few seconds behind his best time of the season and finished in ninth place with a time of 27 minutes and 42 seconds. Jason Perez-
Martin ran his best time of the young season as the freshman placed 16th in 28:18 and senior Raul Ortiz ran a career best 30:36 in finishing 34th.

Brandon Saavedra took home 19th place with a time of 28:49 then Roosevelt's other three runners all finished in a pack between 52nd and 57th. Cristian Martinez made his season debut with a time of 32:30 followed by freshman Breno Teodoro in a season-best 33:30. Ajay Marquez finished in 33:41 to cut more than two minutes off his debut last week.

Cristin Moreno led the Lakers women with a 12th-place finish in a time of 26 minutes even, one of just two Roosevelt runners that didn't set career bests Saturday. Shelsee Isassi finished in 13th place, seven seconds behind Moreno and nearly a minute faster than her previous best time. Lisset Munoz finished in 16th position in a time of 26:55, 30 seconds better than her previous best time over six kilometers. Destiny Ashcraft finished 23rd with a 20-second improvement down to 27:29 and Angie Delgado rounded out the group with a time of 28:28 in 32nd place.
