Congratulations!

A year ago, Henry Fulk finished the Western State Conference Men's Cross Country Championships in 20th place, earning All-WSC honors. On Friday, he improved on that finish, running in 13th place at the WSC Preview Meet at Edward Vincent Jr. Park in Inglewood. The Foothill Tech product from Ventura ran the 4-mile course in 23:44 to finish ahead of 93 other competitors. Fulk looks to keep his improvement up through the WSC Championships to be held on the Ventura College campus on Oct. 23. For this week, Henry has earned the VC Pirate Student Athlete of the Week Award sponsored by M & M Sports. Ventura College Ventura College Track and Field and Cross Country
