Chabot Runs Into History Books

The Chabot College men’s cross country team earned the Coast Conference championship for the first time.

With 37 points on Wednesday at Carmel Valley, the Glads edged out runner-up De Anza by four points in the conference meet.

Daniel Trampe led the Galloping Glads finishing third as an individual in a time of 20 minutes, 55.9 seconds over 4 miles.

“Big day with these young bulls today,” Chabot cross country coach Kyle Robinson said. “I started coaching at Chabot (and Las Positas) in 2011. Since 2011 we’ve placed second in the Coast Conference eight times but have not won until today.”

Six Chabot runners, five men and one woman, earned all-conference honors.
“This season has been particularly challenging as we only have seven men on the roster, leaving not much room for error, and this whole squad keeps coming through!” Robinson said.

Trampe was backed up by teammates Dylan Baptista (21:20.8, fifth), Brian Kirrain (21:42.3, seventh), Kyle Galinis (21:51.5, 10th), Logan Phulps (21:56.1, 12th), and Amartya Poovaiah (22:48.3, 20th). Also, Anthony He was 54th.
In the women’s 5K race, Chabot’s Savannah Maselli finished a strong fifth in 21:02.7.

Next up for Chabot is the NorCal Championships in Martinez Nov. 3.
