2002 Track Recap:
After a frustrating season of inconsistancy, one of UCSB's most accomplished athletes concluded his career in an epic 10,000m Championship race. Battling two former conference champs from Cal Poly, the trio of seniors went into the 25th lap still together. But the bell sounded the alarm that Gaucho fans have grown to recognize as Horton's cue for speed, and "the beast" was unleashed as he put 20 meters on the pack with 300 meters to go, and went on to win the race by almost 15 seconds.
