Inglemoor High School class of 2011 runner Tansey Lystad, the 4A state champion in both the 1,600 and 3,200 meter runs last year, ran well in her collegiate debut last weekend as part of the Cal-Poly Mustangs’ cross-country team.

Lystad placed 30th out of 278 runners at the Stanford Invitational, clocking a 6K time of 21 minutes, 35 seconds to place third on the team and help lead the Mustangs to a third-place finish overall as a team.

It was Lystad’s first race of the season after recovering from a knee injury over the summer.
