Garibay takes 14th in Tour de Cuesta

Yuliana Garibay placed 14th on Friday in the season-opening Tour de Cuesta women's cross country meet at the Fairbanks Course in San Luis Obispo.

Garibay, a freshman from Santa Ynez High, clocked 23:21 on the 5K course and was the only SBCC runner. Antonella Curinga of Citrus was the winner in 21:11. Citrus won the five-team competition with 31 points, beating Cuesta by four.

"This is a few weeks earlier than we usually start, so we only sent out one runner," said coach Scott Fickerson.

The Vaqueros will compete in the Southern Cal Preview on Friday, Sept. 18 at Mission Bay in San Diego.
