Edgar Jesus Vera Alvarado finding running groove at UAA

Post by mouakter9005 »

Dusenberry said he told the team at halftime they were not playing very well.

“But I subbed Kenzie off just before half,” he said. “And I told her ‘hey listen, I know what I am going to be saying at halftime and it does not reflect on you.’ She came ready to play.”

The JDHS varsity teams play a derby series against Division I Railbelt Conference foe Colony today and Saturday.

The Colony girls are mid-pack in the Railbelt country wise email marketing list standings and the Knights’ boys are on top.

“They always go forward quickly and get back quickly,” Dusenberry said of the Colony girls. “But also, from what we see, if you play quick to feet you can get around all that, because all their players go around where the ball is. So if you can find somebody on the opposite side of the field quickly there is lots of space… With who we have, if we can play to each other’s feet and not hold the ball so long then good things can hopefully happen.”

The Crimson Bears JV girls defeated the Colony JV 5-0. Goals came from freshman Gracie Snyder (assist sophomore Miley Andrews), junior Jimena Ramirez (Snyder), Ramirez (Snyder), junior Tearamae Alexander (Andrews) and Ramirez (junior Lola Brown). The team’s Hot Sauce award went to Ramirez.If you are in Anchorage and see a People Mover bus drive past, don’t be surprised if you recognize the young man in the photo on the back.

“Fun fact, my picture is on the back of a bus here in Anchorage for the athletic department,” Juneau-Douglas High School: Yadaa.at Kalé 2024 graduate Edgar Jesus Vera-Alvarado said. He is a freshman on the University of Alaska Anchorage cross-country and track and field teams. “One day I received a text from my coach saying, ‘We need to take some pictures of you.’ Later I found out that it was for a bus. Not really sure what criteria they had for putting someone on the bus.”

After returning from one of the team’s first outdoor meets, a friend showed him a photo of it, then while running in the team’s weight room that has windows facing the road Vera-Alvarado saw the bus drive past.

“I thought it was pretty funny just seeing myself drive by through the community,” he said.
