Brent Booth, welcome to the record books.

A Los Altos, Calif. native, Booth made the most of his trip out to the University of Notre Dame. The junior chalked up a school-record 64 during Tuesday's final round en route to a fourth-place individual finish at the Fighting Irish Gridiron Classic.

Kim Conley has been a huge part of UC Davis cross country her entire career, leading the team in every race she's run since sophomore year.

Now a senior, she has been a force on the track as well, setting school records in the indoor 3,000m (9:30.77) and indoor and outdoor 5,000m (16:59.44 and 16:23.58, respectively). Most recently, the Montgomery High School product took third at the Stanford Invitational - one of the more prestigious meets on the West Coast.

Conley recently sat down with Aggie Sports Writer Alex Wolf-Root to discuss everything from what goes into a standard week - and offseason - of training to how she got into running in the first place.

Women's soccer

Another game, another one-goal conclusion.

UC Irvine's Rachel Flemming scored her first goal of the season, helping the Anteaters (7-6-1, 1-1-0) to a 1-0 win over UC Davis (5-4-2, 0-2-0) in Irvine on Sunday.

Bakari Grant was a mess.

He strained a muscle in his foot. He kicked his shoe off. He put it back on. He ran out onto the field. He forgot his helmet. He went back for it. He lined up outside instead of in the slot.

Saturday's fanhood triathlon officially spanned 12 hours and seven minutes.

It was worth every second - especially the last one.

Greg Denham threw up a prayer.

Bakari Grant somehow came down with the answer.

With UC Davis trailing by two and as time expired, Grant sprinted downfield, turned his shoulder just past the goal line, dug his cleats into the artificial turf at Aggie Stadium and leapt into the air with four University of Northern Colorado defenders.

Who to watch: Saying that Austin Graham has gotten off to a good start would be an understatement.

One of the aspects of the game of soccer that coaches stress is to score first to put pressure on the other team.

"Everybody who watches games knows that when you score the first goal, the game is much easier to play," head coach Dwayne Shaffer said.

UC Davis (9-1-1) did just that against Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo (6-3-2) on Saturday to capture its first Big West Conference victory, 2-0, and to stay undefeated at Aggie Soccer Stadium this season.

After starting out the season red-hot, winning six of their first seven games, the Aggies went into the weekend in search of their first Big West Conference win.

The Aggies are still looking.

UC Davis fell to both Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo and UC Santa Barbara, falling to 0-4 in conference and 8-9 overall.

Saturday the Aggies risked. And it paid off.

The men were led by junior Arran Rogerson's 25:34.2 clocking, good for fifth individually, as their depth helped them place a close second to Stanford University at the Doc Adams Open at the Putah Creek Reserve.

I'm running a triathlon this weekend.

Sort of.

Unlike every other triathlon known to mankind, all you have to do is watch other people exercise to complete it. UC Davis will host three sporting events at three different venues within a period that'll span roughly 12 hours on Saturday.
