Bio

Prior to Hartnell: The only incoming freshman with four years of CIF State Championship experience, Rigo was the cornerstone of the up and coming Greenfield High School program. As a senior, he finished second at CCS at Toro Park and posted the second fastest Woodward Park time by area performers at 16:10. He finished top six his final three years at the CCS Championship and was a consistent top performer at the league championship. In track, Rigo has shown ability at both 1600 meters and 3200 meters. He broke 10:00 four times a senior capped with a lifetime best 9:46.

"Rigo is another Bruin in a line of Greenfield runners who have come through Hartnell. They are all tough and are just a few changes in training away from running some amazing times. Rigo is a pure cross country guy able to hold the same pace the whole time over any course. He came close to being the CCS Champion his senior year after leading the entire race only to have current Hartnell teammate Isaac Gensel catch him in the final 100 meters. Rigo has shown the ability to run well with all our returners and new freshmen. A proven competitor at Woodward Park, we will look to see him average the same per mile over the four mile course come November. That will put us in the mix for a trophy!"
