Harris, battling a sinus infection, ran a course-record 18:59 over the women's 5,000-meter course to lead the Vaqueros to a 52-103 victory over Valley for its second consecutive title. Merino broke the race open with about a mile to go, going from fourth to first with a furious surge en route to a 11-second victory over Jose Perezchica of Bakersfield. Todd Disney was third in 21:28 for two-time defending state champion Moorpark, which was third with 62 points. It was Merino's first victory over Perezchica - who won the first WSC WSC Winter Symposium on Chemometrics WSC Winter Simulation Conference WSC Wayne State College WSC Westfield State College (Westfield, MA) WSC Western State College (Colorado) meet which Merino missed because of illness - and Disney, winner of the second WSC meet when Merino finished fourth. ``I know those guys have skills, but I decided to go,'' Merino said. ``I had to feel the pain for the team to win.'' Merino's victory and the 10-11-12-14 finish of Jorge Lopez, Rafael Ramos, Eduardo Diaz and Juan Fernandez, though, were barely enough to offset three runners among the top eight for Bakersfield, which had split the first two WSC meets with Glendale. ``I am just lucky we won today and I am going to enjoy it,'' Glendale coach Eddie Lopez said. ``I knew it was close. You never know how a race is going to develop.'' In the women's race, Harris outdueled Valley's Patricia Loera, who had beaten her in the first two conference meets.
