Daniel Trampe (Fr) and Muhammed Ahmed (So) became the two fastest "25 lappers" (6.2 miles) in Chabot history on March 30^th at the Mike Fanelli Invitational hosted by San Francisco State University. 

The previous 10k record was set in 1982 by John Carey with a time of 31:45.30. Daniel Trampe from Dublin High School broke the record with a time of 31:41.47 (5:01 per mile). Muhammed Ahmed from Newark Memorial High School crushed the record with a time of 30:24.45 (4:49 per mile), which also ranks him 2^nd nationally among community college athletes. 

Equally impressive, both Daniel and Muhammed have cumulative 4.0 GPAs at Chabot. The latest Track & Field updates can be found below.
