Sophia Godina, Women's Cross Country - Week of Aug. 28

The Pirate cross country teams opened their season on Saturday at the Seawolf Invitational hosted by Sonoma State in Fresno's Woodward Park. Sophia Godina, an All-SoCal honoree a year ago, covered the 5k (3.1 miles) course in 18:32 to finish over 11 seconds ahead of her nearest competitor to win the race against athletes from Division I, Division II and NAIA four-year schools.  The Rio Mesa graduate posted a time that would have finished sixth at last year's 3C2A state championships on the same course. For her efforts, Sophia is this week's VC Pirate Student Athletes of the Week sponsored by M&M Sports.
