The 35th Liberation Mile got Guam’s 77th Liberation festivities underway Wednesday morning as 83 runners took on the traditional event through Anigua and Hagatana that ends in CHamoru Village. The Liberation Mile usually precedes the Liberation Day Parade, but with no parade this year, the focus was all on the runners.
Coming in 1st place for the males is no stranger top finishes in Derek Mandell, completing Wednesday’s race in a blazing 4:45. 1st place finisher for the females was Sharon Hawley with a 5:49, who has become a strong race competitor in her two years on island.

Ashley Samaniego and the UCLA Bruins made it to the NCAA Women’s Final Four, before losing to eventual champions UConn.
The 2007 Simon Sanchez graduate is in his first year with the Bruins women’s basketball team as the Director of Athletic Performance. This after years at California State University, Northridge in the same capacity.
Coach Ash must be bringing some goodness to the Bruins as UCLA is currently ranked #1 in the country and earned its first No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament in program history.
