Warrior senior Christine Babcock ran a 1500 meter qualifying race at the Southern California High Performance Meet at Mt. SAC Sunday evening to improve her chances of being invited to the U.S. Olympic Trials in Eugene, Oregon later this month.

Christine's time of 4:16.42 places her currently as the 27th qualifying time for the Olympic Trials of a total of 30 places that will be invited.  Her performance, against literally no other competitive runners in the race to help push her to a faster time, also set a national high school record in the 1500 meters.  Watch Christine's race.

Senior Christine Babcock was named the Orange County Register's Girls Athlete of the Year for the second year in a row.  The award was presented Tuesday evening at the annual Register and OCVarsity.com awards banquet.

"The event, held at the Marconi Automotive Museum in Tustin, brought together the stars who shined the brightest in the county in 2007-08 by winning the top honor in their sport."
