Fountain Valley Barons are sad to report the passing of former girls coach Dan Moran this past week due to continued health complications. Dan was the Barons head coach from 1988- 2000 and coached some of the best girls in Orange country such as Angie Winkler and Julie Allen before moving on to Santa Ana Valley. Coach Moran was an outstanding guy with a love for athletics and especially for FVHS, those who coached with him and against him will dearly miss him, he will always be a part of the Baron family. Funeral services are pending. Martin Baratti –FVHS XC

Fountain Valley senior and 2006 Division I state champion Elizabeth Coe has signed a letter of intent to run cross country at Pepperdine, becoming the first female athlete to receive a cross county scholarship at the school according to her former coach, Barry Migliorini. Despite being slowed by a foot injury throughout the season, Coe was a second-team All-County selection, finishing fourth at both the Orange County Championships and the Sunset League Finals. The Barons won their fourth consecutive Sunset League championship and finished seventh in Division I at the CIF State championships. Coe will be reunited with her sister Mollie, who graduated from Fountain Valley in 2007 and is a member of the Waves’ women’s cross country team. Barons senior Nicole Giove signed her letter of intent to run at the University of Santa Clara. JASON EICHELBERGER /The Register

A special thank you to all parents and boosters for your support at the Sunset finals and for the entire season. We really appreciate all the extra things that you do for the athletes. Because of you we are able to have the success that was exhibited at league finals. As a program we have now won 8 straight varsity league titles in either boys or girls CC with numerous lower level championships. As the finals showed, FVHS won 4 of 6 league team titles and finished 2nd in the final standings for the boys Varsity and frosh soph teams. We look forward with great anticipation to the upcoming post season of running and will try to make FVHS proud with hopefully yet another appearance in the state finals for the girls and possibly a first time appearance by the boys. As a reminder to all parents, the soph,Jr, and Sr boys will train with the Varsity until the season is over. Any freshman boy or girl on the Varsity travel squad will remain exempt from zero period until the season in over. All frehman not continuing on will report back to zero period on Monday Nov 5th unless in a winter sport. GO BARONS!! Coach Baratti FVHS program director.

The year was 2006 and the varsity girls raced Edison to a tie in the Sunset League Finals. It came down to our sixth place runner, Laura Wells, to break the tie and give the Barons the Sunset League title. Fast forward to 2007 and the varsity girls raced Esperanza to a tie in the Sunset League finals. It came down to our sixth place runner yet again. But, this year it was Kim Sherman who broke the tie and gave the Barons their 4th consecutive Sunset League title. To quote coach Migliorini "We ran well and reacted when we had to. Our team has worked very hard, and I beleive that we are capable of running against anyone." It just goes to show that you can be the first or seventh runner for the Barons to cross the finish line; every second and every place counts. Congratulations to the girls varsity on their 4th consecutive Sunset League title and yet another trip to CIF Prelims. The girls times are as follows... 4 Elizabeth Coe 12 Fountain Valley 18:02 4 6 Carmille Garcia 9 Fountain Valley 18:15 6 8 Nicole Giove 12 Fountain Valley 18:18 8 11 Lauren Erickson 11 Fountain Valley 18:24 11 16 Michelle Urata 11 Fountain Valley 18:50 16 18 Kim Sherman 12 Fountain Valley 18:56 18 22 Charity Chung 12 Fountain Valley 19:18 22

Message sent from Rick Arciniaga... Not to be confused with the New York Marathon, this race is limited to approximately 160 competitors who have met the minimum standard time for competition. As of this week, his time of 2 hours 16 minutes and 58 seconds ranks him #27 in the United States. In the recent issue of Running Times magazine under the heading DARK HORSES, the following was written: Almost every Olympic trials marathon produces at least one surprise podium finisher, someone who runs from the outskirts of reality to earn an Olympic team berth. Given the fickle nature of the marathon and the depth of this year’s field, there’s a good chance an unsung runner will emerge in New York, too. There are more than a dozen runners with the talent and the training to finish in the top three, but, it will likely come from down to who’s the hungriest dog. “The trials have a weird way of shaking things out”, “but there’s always someone in there that no one expected.” Who might that be this year? Nick Arciniaga, Michael Reneau, Fasil Bizuneh, Steve Meinelt, and Joe Discrolli are among those to keep an eye on, either because they’re still young or relatively inexperienced in the marathon. Just a little background, Nick completed his one and only Marathon last October and as a result, qualified to compete in New York. Shortly thereafter, he was recruited by the Hanson brothers to join their organization and with that, Nick moved to Michigan to join the Hanson Brooks Original Distance Project. The sole aim of HBODP is train young runners to be the best marathon runners they can be and be competitive in the world arena. At the last Olympic Trials, their runners finished 4th, 5th, and 13th and they are all back again to compete along with Nick and 10 other teammates. Nicks’ most recent race was this past May where he finished 9th in USA 25K Championships (15.5 miles). Since July, all he does Run, eat, sleep, work a little, Run, eat, sleep. He is running a bit over 120 miles a week and his training is going very well. He sounds very confident and says if he runs a perfect race, you never know. In order to be selected to compete in the Olympic Games, Nick will need to finish in the top 3 and run in under 2 hours and 15 minutes. To learn more about the upcoming marathon and get and idea of what Nick is up to or who the main competition and pre-race favorites, check out the following sites: This site is the home page of the Men’s Olympic Trials Marathon. This features stories, video snippets, who is running, the course and other information including the results

Eric Dyson has run 1,123 summer miles setting a new Boys Senior Record. The old record was set by the great Bob Erickson back in 1981. With the 1123 summer miles Eric now moves into the Boys #2 all time summer miles running 3177 miles
Congratulations to Mike Canas, Luis Morales and Rachel Sunico on qualifying in yesterdays time trail for Vegas. Only one more time trail remains.... Do you have what is takes to go to vegas
Michelle Urata becomes the first lady Baron in history to run two 1000 mile summers. Congratulations on this great feat!! With two weeks to go in summer mileage, the big question is... Who is going to join her
Eric Dyson is poised to break a 1000 miles this summer! Can he do it and become #2 in Boys All Time Mileage? Go Dyson, check back for further updates
Dyestat has posted the rankings and Fountain Valley Girls start the season ranked 3rd!!! 1. Saugus (Southern) -- Katie Dunn is in sensational shape while Amber Murakami carefully rebounds from the anemia which surfaced earlier this year. The Scorpions are VERY deep and well prepared, so any avoidance of surprise setbacks should net Saugus a second successive state title.
Nicole Giove broke FVHS cross country’s most coveted record … The Career Summer Mileage Record. With just over 2 weeks to go in her senior summer Giove passed the mark former Footlocker All-American Crystal Reed 2925. Not only has Giove broken the record, but she becomes the first Baron to run 3000 miles in her career. Fountain Valley is known for its high mileage, and to be the hardest working of a group that includes dozens of collegiate runners, two high school All-Americans, and two athletes who have qualified for the upcoming Olympic trials, is quite an honor. Giove first gained notoriety on the dyestat message boards as a freshman when she ran 44miles the last day of summer to narrowly win the Angie Winkler award, given to the freshman who runs the most mileage during the summer. Giove has been a mainstay and key varsity ingredient on teams that have won a CIF title, two CIF runner-ups, and earned a berth to NTN. Giove was voted by her peers Captain in last years team election. |
