Hi, i would just like to bring to your attention the poor journalism skills that I’ve noticed in the Boy’s Cross Country section of the Triton Report. In the past there has been incorrect results and key facts. For instance, the league of our team along with the race competed in that week. This weeks report had not a single truth in it. You stated that the team “took part in the Mt. Sac Invitational on October 20.” They did not attend that race, because they chose to focus on league finals where they have a possibility of making CIF for the first time in many years. In addition, you said that “sophomore Kevin Mariano had the best time for the Tritons at 16:38.” Those are last years results, meaning Kevin is now a junior. Kevin Mariano is actually injured this season, making him unable to race this year. Essentially i just wanted to point out something that can be very frustrating, especially to a member of the team you’re covering.
Thank You
