CROSS-COUNTRY
Saturday
At Silversword Invitational
The skinny: Facing Division I competition last Saturday, Anna Baker-Mikkelsen set the pace for UH-Hilo again, finishing 70th at the 42nd annual Charles Bowles Willamette Invitational in Oregon.
Baker-Mikkelsen completed the 6K in 19:32. Ashlyn Cabatbat was the next Vulcan (173, 23:15), and Reyna Garcia Lopez (23:27.8), Kaylee Rapoza (23:42.4) and Cheyana
Crossman also ran for UH-Hilo. Each runner had a season-best and Cabatbat, Garcia and Crossman had personnel-bests.
Quotable: “I liked how the our 2-5 runners were close to each other as Coach Jaime (Guerpo) and I have been encouraging them to use each other to maximize there performance,” assistant coach Alan Ryan said. “I was most impressed with Cheyana’s performance. She has come a long way from the beginning of the season and is up with the rest of the team. A few seconds faster and she would be our No. 2 runner. I wouldn’t be surprised if she gets there in three weeks at our conference championships.”

vs. LONG BEACH STATE, 5 p.m.
The skinny: After more than a month away from Oahu’s Waipio Peninsula Soccer Stadium, the Rainbow Wahine return to a pitch they’re unbeaten (5-0-1) on this season for four consecutive matches.
The Highlanders enter Thursday’s match having lost five in a row, with four of those losses coming by a goal.
Quotable: “There’s so much parity in the Big West that every game is a good game, and I’m looking forward to two more good games this weekend,” Hawaii coach Michele Nagamine said. “Making sure that our trainings are done with that game-intensity and match-speed in mind, that’s really important to us this week.”
