Newbury Park Boys Win a Double-Cross

Warren Livingston finished second and Brandon Nakagawa was third to help Newbury Park High defeat Simi Valley and Agoura in a Marmonte League double-dual boys’ cross-country meet Thursday at Agoura.

Livingston, a junior, clocked 16:41 over the three-mile course and Nakagawa, also a junior, timed 16:43 as Newbury Park (3-0, 3-0 in league meets) beat Agoura, 26-29, and Simi Valley, 21-38.

Agoura, ranked No. 3 in the region, beat two-time defending league champion Thousand Oaks and Westlake last week, but the Chargers couldn’t keep pace with unranked Newbury Park.

Seniors Jeremy Law (16:49), Mike Berns (16:57) and Tim Perram (17:02) placed fourth, fifth and sixth for Agoura (5-1, 3-1), but junior Kevin Sullivan had an off race and finished 12th in 17:40.

“We know we have a good team,” Coach Mike Stewart of Newbury Park said. “We feel like we’re kind of a Rodney Dangerfield team. We feel like we’re good, but we don’t get that much respect.”

Senior Richard Chetwynd placed first in 16:33 for Simi Valley.
