Ever since I can remember, it’s been a fact of life that my mother’s father, or Papou as we call him, likes to talk to strangers. And not just a quick “How you doing” to someone he passes in the street. I’m talking the full-on “you don’t know me but I’m about to talk to you like we’re friends” kind of thing. He’ll pause in the middle of a restaurant, walk up to a table where a parent is sitting with two smiling children, and remark how blessed the parent is: “you are a lucky man.”

The Aggie men brought one distance runner up to Washington for Saturday’s season debut. They returned home with one school record. After redshirting the cross country season due to injury, sophomore Jonathan Peterson returned to action in style, clocking 8:16.99 to take third in his heat of the 3,000m. Already No. 2 in the outdoor 3,000m, his time crushed the old indoor mark held by former Aggie great Chris Ferren-Cirino (2007).

Entering this weekend’s matches, the Aggies weren’t sure what direction the rest of their season would go. On Wednesday, the UC Davis women’s tennis team fell 7-0 to No. 10 Stanford, pushing their overall record under .500 for the first time this season. But as Friday rolled around, the Aggies knew exactly where they were headed, knocking off Santa Clara, 5-2, before blanking UC Santa Cruz on Sunday, 7-0.

Abbreviations are big in track and field. There’s the typical W (win), there’s PR (personal record) and its relatives MR (meet record), NR (national record), and WR (world record) and the less pleasant DQ (disqualified) and DNF (did not finish). For senior Kaitlin Gregg, what mattered after her 3,000m race was just a simple P – for provisional national qualifier.
