NORCAL RUNNERS OF THE WEEK #9
Stephan Chapdelaine (Butte College)
Won the Northern California Championship running an outstanding 20:16 at Woodward Park. His performance was a 44 second personal best on the course and Chapdelaine moved up from second as a freshman. He's been undefeated against all Norcal competition heading into next week's State Championship at Woodward Park. Chapdelaine will look to become Butte College's first state champion since 2005 when Oscar Uribe achieved the feat.

Tommy White (Moorpark College)
Made it two for two for the Raiders joining teammate Natarajan as the Socal individual champion. White used a strong move from 1.5 miles to 3 miles to break away and eventually win in 19:56 on the 4 mile course. White was seventh at last year's Socal Championship and fourteenth at the state championship. Moorpark will send two potential contenders for the overall win at next week's championship.
