Adrian Rodriguez from Canyon Country is off and running for the Kingsmen. In his inaugural race, the Mark Covert Classic in Brea on Aug. 30, the freshman was the first member of the CLU cross country team to cross the finish line. His time of 27:39.6 was the eighth fastest on the 8K course in CLU history. “That was awesome, especially for a first year,” head coach Brett Halvaks said. “So we’re really excited about that.” Rodriguez followed up with a 71st place finish at the Biola Invitational racing against Division I and II competition.
