Scott Bauhs headed to Scotland with US team.

SAN DIEGO - Chico State All-American Scott Bauhs earned a spot on the US World Championship team after a tenth-place finish in the Men’s Open race at the 2008 USA Cross Country Championships held on Saturday in San Diego.
Bauhs, at 21 years old, is the youngest athlete to make the nine-member team, which will represent the United States next month at the World Cross Country Championships in Edinburgh, Scotland. He is also the only collegiate runner to earn a spot. The other eight runners are 25 years or older and run professionally.
As impressive as Bauh’s top-ten finish may be, only the top nine are chosen to the team. Ryan Hall, the American record holder in the half marathon, finished fifth overall, but entered the race knowing he would not accept a spot on the team, due to his training for the London Marathon.
Bauhs finished the 12k course in 36:13. The winner, Dathan Ritzenhein, a member of the 2004 Olympic team and a former D-I Cross Country champion, now runs for Nike and completed the course in 35:03.
Two other former Division I Cross Country champions, Jorge Torres and Josh Rohatinsky finished second and third, respectively.
Also competing among the talented field of runners was Chico State assistant cross country coach Patrick Boivin, who himself is a four-time NCAA All-American. Boivin finished 74th overall in a time of 39:07.
Chico State head coach Gary Towne had an impressive showing in the Master’s 8k race, finishing 18th among the field of 184 runners with a time of 27:33.
A broadcast of the 2008 USA Cross Country Championships will be televised in association with the AT&T USA Indoor Track & Field Championships February 24, from 5-7 p.m. on ESPN 2.

Wildcats of the Week
|
Men's Basketball
Amir Carraway capped a strong weekend with team highs of 16 points and seven rebounds in the Wildcats’ huge win against Humboldt State Saturday night to earn Wildcat of the Week honors for the second time this season.
The sophomore from Vallejo made two game-sealing free throws with 21 seconds left to finish the night 6-of-7 from the free throw line and pulled down key rebounds on two of the Lumberjacks’ last three possessions. He also set the screen on Jay Flores’ dagger 3-pointer with 40 seconds left.
Carraway finished with 10 points and four rebounds despite playing just 18 minutes due to foul trouble during the Wildcats’ loss to Sonoma State the night before.
The 6-foot-5 forward leads the team in rebounding at 5.5 per game and ranks second in scoring at 10.6 points per game a season after averaging just 1.4 points and one rebound in only 5.4 minutes a night. He’s now led the team in scoring five times and rebounding six this season.
Carraway and the Wildcats, among four teams tied for second in the California Collegiate Athletic Association standings, trail conference co-leaders Cal Poly Pomona and Cal State Dominguez Hills by just one game. They’ll welcome Cal Poly Pomona to town Friday night and San Francisco State Saturday.

Women's Basketball
For much of the season, redshirt freshman Caressa Williams has been sitting at the end of the Chico State women’s basketball team bench, seeing very little on-court action. But the former Paradise High School star continued to work hard on her game, and the extra effort has paid off in recent weeks with significantly more playing time. After a string of short but impressive relief roles, Williams delivered a breakout performance Saturday against Humboldt State, posting career highs in scoring and rebounding in the Wildcats’ 90-67 thumping of Humboldt State. Her strongest effort to date makes Williams the latest Wildcat of the Week.
Williams shot over 58 percent (7-of-12), averaging just under 10 points and five rebounds in Chico State’s two weekend contests. She began the weekend with a solid outing Friday against Sonoma State, contributing five points, two rebounds, one assist and two steals in 16 minutes of action. Saturday, though, she was a major part of the Wildcat reserves combining to score 51 in the team’s convincing 23-point win over Humboldt. Williams played 24 minutes, scoring 14 points and hauling in seven rebounds – both career highs – connecting on five of her seven field goal attempts. She also chipped in with an assist and a steal in addition to shining on the defensive end.
Williams’ productive weekend saw her season scoring average more than double, rising from 1.6 to 3.6 points per game. Overall, she is shooting 50 percent from the field and is averaging two rebounds a contest.
Chico State is back in action this weekend, hosting Cal Poly Pomona Friday and San Francisco State Saturday at Acker Gym. Both games are scheduled to tipoff at 5:30 p.m.
