SAN FRANCISCO — The University of San Francisco men's cross country team and Cal women's cross country team took home the team titles in the 18th Annual San Francisco Invitational on Saturday morning at Golden Gate Park.

Cal junior Chelsea Reilly (Davis HS) won the women's 5k race in 17:20 — a time which tied the course record. Kentucky sophomore Luis Orta (Hometown: Caracas, Venezuela; High School: Madison L.C.) edged USF's Ganbileg Bor (Jefferson HS, Daly City) by two steps at the finish line to win the men's 8k race in 24:52.

The Dons' men squad beat second-place finisher Kentucky by 21 points. Seven USF runners finished in the top 14 with four finishing in the top 10.

"Our men did an excellent job running as a team today," USF head coach Helen Lehman-Winters said. "They executed our race plan perfectly. It's good to get off to a strong start and feel like we have a lot we can build upon."

Bor led USF with a second-place finish in 24:53, with teammate Will Marquardt (5-10 Junior El Dorado, CA/Union Mine HS) crossing the finish line for third just two seconds later. After Bor came down the final stretch of the course in the lead, Orta surged ahead just as the two crossed the finish line.

"My coaches told me to be patient and not push to the front too early, so I sat back and let the other guys take on the wind," Bor said. "Will started pushing up around the 5k mark, but I still stayed back until the final 600 or so meters when Will and I ran shoulder to shoulder and worked together. I gave it my all on that last kick, but it's still early in the season and that final push isn't where I want it to be."

Running in his first collegiate race, Jose Madera took eighth in 25:11, with junior Jeremy Grace finishing at Madera's heels in 25:12. After a three-year hiatus from running, Derek DeSantiago was 11th in 25:15, with Steven Garboden finishing 12th just two seconds after DeSantiago.

USF junior Colin Hopkins was 14th with a time of 25:25, while Michael Barnes and Thomas Estrada were 22nd and 23rd in 25:41 and 25:44. Joshua Horeled and Ashi Guiles were 27th and 30th in 25:50 and 26:04, respectively.

Six returning letterwinners set new personal records including: Marquardt, Grace, Garboden, Hopkins, Barnes and Horeled.

Cal edged Kentucky by two points to win the women's race, with USF finishing 12 points out of the lead. Four Dons' runners finished in the top 12 in the women's race with senior Nicole Bowler leading the way with a third-place finish in 17:37.

"I'm pleased with our women's team's performance in our season opener," Lehman-Winters said. "Nicole Bowler ran an outstanding race, finished strong and competed well."

Sophomore Heather Zytkewicz was fifth in 17:46, while Sophie Curl and Carly Holman were 11th and 12th in 18:14 and 18:20, respectively. Freshman Sarah Pearson rounded out USF's scoring runners with a 18th-place finish in her first collegiate race in 18:43. Alice Hobbs and Alice Baker finished 20th and 28th in 18:53 and 19:20, respectively.

Holman and Zytkewicz both set new personal records.

The Dons' men's team is back in action on Sept. 11 at the Hornet Jamboree in Sacramento, Calif. USF's women's team races again on Oct. 2 at the Wisconsin Adidas Invitational.
