Bolger has already gained big-league racing experience this fall; he took third at Clovis behind Luis Grijalva and Michael Vernau and third behind Cooper Teare and Vernau at Stanford with a new 5K PR of 14:54.4.
Christian Ricketts outran Bolger at the Pac 8 League Preview, 15:24 to 15:41. Ricketts won the D1 Varsity race at Clovis in 15:15, ahead of Ethan Comeaux and Justin Hazell, who will also race here. Ricketts' Clovis time stood as the sixth-fastest of the day when combined with times from the championship race.
Comeaux's 15:30 runner-up finish at Clovis was a new 5K PR for him, as was his 14:41.6 run at Woodbridge for runner-up honors in the rated race. He was seventh at the Roy Griak Invitational in Minnesota.
Crescenta Valley junior Colin Fitzgerald was seventh in the championship section at Clovis in a new 5K PR 15:24 and followed that up with a new three-mile PR of 14:41.3 to win the Pacific League Cluster #2.
