BOYS CROSS COUNTRY: Benavides makes mark

Player of the Year: Phillip Benavides
School: Alhambra
Grade: Senior
Notable: Benavides enjoyed great success during his senior season. He set the Almont League record during the league finals (15 minutes, 7 seconds), breaking the old mark of 15:12. He also reached the CIF-State championships, becoming the first Moors runner to do so. He suffered a bruised heel coming down the switchbacks midway during the sweepstakes race of the Mt. SAC Invitational and simply wanted to make it through the season. His goal was to break 15:10 at the CIF-Southern Section Finals at Mt. SAC and he finished ninth in 15:03. He won the Bosco Tech Invitational and finished third at the Staub/Barnes Invitational at Crescenta Valley Park. Benavides gained confidence in his potential at the Bell-Jeff Invitational at Griffith Park when he took second place in 14:13 behind Highland's Jeremy Acosta.
Quotable: "I was happy because my worst race this year was better than my best race last year."

Boa noite pessoal, realmente disparar um torpedo de graça está cada vez mais trabalhoso devido ao bloqueio das operadoras móveis. Há ainda os serviços que prometem entregar meu SMS mas quase nunca chegam recepiente final. Alguns como o Mundo oi e o Oi Torpedo funcionam mas e para as outras operadoras? E os que prometem que enviam e nada chega. Para onde está indo as as minhas menssagens? E para a Tim, Vivo? Alguma Idéia? Ou significa ter de pagar?. É só um desabafo, realmente está difícil achar serviços para mandar torpedos gratuito.

Boa noite pessoal, com certeza um SMS grátis está cada vez mais custoso devido falta de opções das operadoras de celular. Há ainda os websites que prometem entregar meu torpedo mas nem sempre chegam destinatário final. Alguns como o Mundo oi e o Oi Torpedo funcionam mas e para as outras operadoras?
