In the girls race, the Bearcats used strong front running from defending league champ Marissa Scott, the winner in 20:28, along with an excellent 4th place from her sister Kailyn (21:22) and 21:40/6th place finish from rapidly improving Lexie Jackson to total 35. They were pushed to the end by fast-rising Walnut, who tallied 43 points. The Mustangs were led by an excellent 2nd place, 20:38 effort from frosh Anahi Betart, along with a key 7, 8 finish from frosh Rachel Shapiro (21:47) and soph Melanie Deciga (22:04). Los Altos (3rd/64) was strong up front, with Krystal Martinez (5th/21:32), Bianca Hernadez (9th/22:10) and Brittany Aranda (10th/22:13), but their 4 & 5 were back to challenge the team leaders.
Diamond Bar rode a 41 second gap to fourth place, led by Kelly Kuo (17th/23:13). Rowland was 5th, led by a strong 21:12, 3rd place from Courtney Canchola. Karissa Austin (22nd/23:29) paced 6th placed West Covina and Celina Kissinger (33rd/24:27) was best for Diamond Ranch.
Rowland's Nick Rivera
SGV 800m champ Nick Rivera shook off a tough night at Woodbridge to lead teammate David Galvez to an easy 1/2, 17:14/17:19 finish. But Rowland‘s 3, 4, 5 could only finish 21, 22, 29 and Raiders ended up 3rd with 75 points. Diamond Bar‘s James McCreary was third at 17:33, but the rest of the Brahmas were to far back and finished 6th.
Los Altos, second last year, to their first step to the top with a win today, paced by the senior pair of Jair Juarez (4th/17:37) and Bobby Villagomez (5th/17:52), with junior Mark Huizar 10th at 17:59. Soph Dillon Nobbs was 6th/17:54 and led the rapidly improving Bearcats to a 2nd place finish.
Frosh Millen Trujillo had a big day to finish 9th in 18:02, leading Walnut to the all-important 4th place finish. West Covina put Tyler Potts (8th/18:00) and Diego Duran (10th/18:07) in the top 10, but their 1:43 gap left them fifth. Diamond Ranch was 7th, paced by Sergio Perez (35th/19:57).
