Redshirt freshman Kevin Peat wants to leave UC Davis as the school’s all-time saves leader. After Saturday’s impressive showing against No.16Santa Clara,he’s that much closer to reaching his goal.

Racing against2008Olympic10,000m runner Galen Rupp and a plethora of All-Americans from all over the West,the Aggies were able to place a respectable11th at the NCAA Western Regional Championships. “We’ve been11th two years in a row,” said head coach Drew Wartenburg. “Eleventh this year was probably a taller order; it was probably a better accomplishment than getting11th last year.There was a lot more depth at the top of the field.“

A young UC Davis squad comprised of seven freshmen faced its first regular season test of the2008-2009campaign as it traveled to Southern Utah on Friday night. The Aggies answered the call.

The Aggies entered the weekend with a shot at salvaging a.500home record. But that wasn’tquitewhat happened.

Racing against some of the best competitors in the nation,the Aggies placed an impressivesixth place at the Western Regional Championships. And on Nov.24,seniors Kim Conley and Kaitlin Gregg will be able to race the rest of the best as they compete at the NCAA National Championships in Terre Haute,Ind.
