Chelsea Reilly (RS JR 1V Davis, Calif./Davis HS) tied a course record by covering 5000 meters in 17:20 at Speedway Meadow in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, leading the Cal women's cross country team to victory in the USF Invitational. In addition, the Golden Bear men took third in their 2010 debut.

Reilly finished six seconds ahead of Kentucky's Chelsea Oswald in the individual race, while Cal edged the Wildcats by two points to win the women's team race, 37 to 39. In addition to Reilly, the Bears had three others place among the top 10 - freshman Heather Cerney (FR HS Danville, Calif./Carondelet HS) (4th, 17:39), freshman Elisa Karhu (FR HS San Diego, Calif./Rancho Bernardo HS) (6th, 17:55) and sophomore Laurynne Chetelat (RS SO TR Davis, Calif./Davis HS, Stanford) (10th, 18:12). Crystal Esparza (JR 1V Riverbank, Calif./Fred Beyer HS) was 16th in 18:29, while Taylor Bryson (RS JR 1V Costa Mesa, Calif./Newport Harbor HS) rounded up the Cal racers in 54th place (20:42).

On the men's side, Maxime Chevee (JR SQ St.-Julien-en-Genevois, France/Lycee Mme de Stael HS) was the Bears' top runner across the line, completing his 8K event in 25:07, which was good for sixth place. Teammate Matt Peterson (SO SQ Davis, Calif./Davis HS) was right behind in the seventh spot with a mark of 25:10. The remainder of Cal's contingent consisted of Nate Beach (JR SQ Lafayette, Calif./Acalanes HS) (24th, 25:46), J.J. Solorzano (FR HS Northridge, Calif./Granada Hills Charter HS) (32nd, 26:15), Andres Diaz (SO SQ Eagle Rock, Calif./Loyola HS)(37th, 26:25) and Renaud Poizat (SO 1V Arcadia, Calif./Arcadia HS)(26:31).

Host USF won its 18th annual invitational with 33 points, followed by Kentucky (54) and Cal (80).

Last year, the Cal men captured the team competition, while the Bears' Keena Kohl (JR 2V Yorba Linda, Calif./Esperanza HS) claimed the individual women's title. On Saturday, head coach Tony Sandoval held out several of those expected to be among the Bear leaders, including Michael Coe (RS SR 3V Lompoc, Calif./Cabrillo HS), Steve Sodaro (RS SR 3V Tiburon, Calif./Redwood HS, Larkspur)and Kari Karlsson (SR 3V Reykjavik, Iceland/Reykjavik University) on the men's side and women's runners Deborah Maier (JR 2V Cameron Park, Calif./Ponderosa HS), Kohl and Ellie Keene (RS SO 1V Vista, Calif./Rancho Buena Vista HS).
