Jesuit's David Quintana kicked his way past Catholic's Augustin Juneau to win at Saturday's Pete Boudreaux Invitational at Highland Road Park in a race which featured three of the top four distance runners in Louisiana history.
Quintana's winning time of 14:50 ranks No. 3 all-time behind Aiden Monistere (14:33) and Brennan Robin (14:46), who was coming off his 22-second personal record at last weekend's Chili Pepper Festival in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Juneau finished with a 14:54, moving to No. 4 all-time on the Louisiana 5K list.
"It's awesome," Quintana answered when asked what it's like running against Louisiana's best during the regular season.
"We don't really run in these local races," Quintana said. "We tend to stay out of town. I really wanted to run this one because it was a preview of state I thought that even if I lost, it would give me strategy to develop before the state meet."
"I think I executed pretty good," Quintana said of his race. "I was basically chilling behind Brennan Robin for the first mile and a half. I was feeling good. I was looking around and I was like I don't know how these guys feel, but I feel great."
At two miles, the Blue Jay senior soared down the hill and attempted to drop Robin and Juneau, but both were still there. So he waited until the race's last 100 meters.
"In that last kick, I got it done," Quintana said.
Quintana has come up in the Jesuit program watching his older brother, Josh, and legendary runners like Brady Mullen. Now, Quintana is moving past those runners during his final year of high school competition.
"It really set the tone for me seeing those guys performing so well," Quintana said. "Seeing what they did helped everyone else"
According to Jesuit head coach Nick Accardo, Saturday's race with Louisianan's best happened because Quintana did not break Mullen's school record in the first two meets of the year.
"Going back to this summer one of his main goals was to get our school record this season," Accardo said. "I knew then that if he didn't get it in the first two races of the season, we'd probably have to shift the plan for him and Highland Rd. would be his last best shot."
The Monday after Quintana's Great American performance, Quintana asked if he could run at the Catholic's Pete Boudreaux Invitational.
"I pretended to think about it for a couple of days, but I knew I was going to let him," Accardo said. "I've made an effort to trust the boys with their goals. I didn't want him to run for a million reasons but he wanted to go for it. Sometimes just getting out of the way is the best thing you can do for a front runner."
"It was a really great performance for David," Accardo said. "That win and school record is 100% him. I'm just happy go get to cheer him on."
