Healdsburg’s Gabriella Peterson ran strong and relaxed through the first two miles of the Yoshanny Rahm Invitational on the Ukiah high campus before leaving the other 50+ varsity runners in her dust as she won the 5K race in 19:14 by over 90 seconds.
“I was saving it in the beginning because I knew the hills were coming.” said Peterson of the fact that she would need to power up a steep hill near the end of the race. “I felt good and really excited once I had finished the last hill.”
Arcata took the team championship over the 11 other schools as they easily won with a 54 point score.
