Chris Baird Qualifies for State Finals

Chris Baird added to his spectacular season by finishing 6th at the CIF Finals.  Not only did this qualify him for the State Finals in Fresno this coming Saturday, it also earned him First Team All-CIF honors to go along with his All-League and All-County honors.   Chris gave a tremendous effort today, and could barely stand up long after the race ended.  He passed the Mile mark at 4:52 with about 20 other runners, gained ground in the first set of hills moving him into the top-10, and put on a furious kick to finish 6th.  Three seconds slower and it would have been season over.  Talent is important, but there's no substitute for consistent training and all-out effort.  Chris is reportedly the first Agoura runner to qualify for State in at least 9 years ... which one of you out there will be next?
