More from the Seaside Invitational

Saugus High cross country coach Rene Paragas said he didn't anticipate breaking any records at the Seaside Invitational in Ventura on Friday. But his runners did just that.
Freshman Karis Frankian set the freshman course record in the girls race. Junior Alec Nelson and senior Brandon Jauregui set school records in their races. The girls team set the meet record, breaking their own mark from a year ago.
There were a couple of surprises. Paragas said he was particularly impressed with Courtney Wilson's performance in the senior race. Frankian's time in the freshman race was a bit of a surprise, but not unexpected. Jauregui winning the senior race might have been the biggest stunner of the day.
Jauregui injured his Achilles tendon and was limited in practice the past couple of weeks. Paragas said he missed six days of running and told Jauregui to run a conservative race. Paragas even considered not letting Jauregui run at all.
Jauregui said he took his coach's advice, but after about 800 meters into the 3-mile race, Jauregui was in the lead. From there, he found a comfortable pace and waited for someone to pass him. No one did.
"It's the way I wanted to do it," Jauregui said. "Coach wanted me to be more conservative."
Frankian broke the freshman course record set by her Saugus teammate Kaylin Mahoney last year. Frankian and Shelby McIntyre, a runner from South Tahoe High School, ran the course in under Mahoney's time from last year. Frankian's time was nearly 30 seconds better than Mahoney's.
"I just wanted to go out and run as best as I could," Frankian said. "I really surprised myself that I broke it."
