SUNNYVALE, Calif. – "New year, same story" was the name of the game at this year's Santa Clara Bronco Invitational for the Pacific cross country team, with multiple personal bests and a school record falling Saturday morning at Baylands Regional Park in Sunnyvale, California.

All told, four underclassmen set new personal bests. 

"It was an awesome day on the course," Tigers head coach Josh Jones said. "I couldn't be more proud of the way we ran today. Obviously the school record by Jasmine is great, but seeing huge runs from Kimmy, Kari and Kendall was equally great."
