``In other years, I would be looking at the times and being like `Wow, that is fast. I am never going to run that fast,' '' Siraki said. ``When I got here, I thought this is good weather for a record. During my race, I was not pressing for that, I was just trying for the win.''

 made strong showings in the team competition in the 33rd annual meet. Canyon, boosted by individual winner Nick Zoetewey (15:46), set a team time record of 80:34 to break the 1991 standard of 80:45 held by Hoover.

Canyon, the top-ranked team in Southern Section Division II, had four runners among the top six, with Zoetewey, a senior, and the 3-4-6 finish of junior Luke Llamas (15:52) and Jameson Mora MORA, In civil law.

In the girls' Division I race, Siraki and Stein, who set a course record in the Bell-Jeff Invitational a week earlier, shared the lead through the first mile run at 6:07, an pace of 18:21, before Siraki powered away over the final mile and a half of the course run on thick grass and dirt trails.

``Of course, (Stein) pushed me having her there,'' Siraki said. ``At the two mile, I was feeling really good. I thought I can hold this pace for another mile. I just tried to maintain it all the way through.''

Siraki has run unchallenged to victories in the Millikan, Woodbridge and Stanford invitationals this season. Hoover coach Greg Switzer hoped to used Saturday's race as a practice run for the national championships in December with a strong finish by Siraki. He was nothing short of shocked by Siraki's performance.

``She does nothing but amaze me with the raw power she oozes in the second part of the race and her ability to turn it on at will,'' Switzer said. ``To see her run with such power up this last hill at the end of the race all you can do is ask: What is this kid going to do?''
