Mission Valley: Jayson & Brittnie Repeat – SEM & Rosemead Tops

The Mission Valley League had two of the top returning runners coming into this year, seniors Jayson Perez of South El Monte and Brittnie Munoz of Rosemead, and neither disappointed at Tuesday’s MVL finals.  Running on the hilly 3 mile course at Bonelli Park in San Dimas, Jayson easily defended his league title with a 30 second win over Arroyo’s Efren Alcala and teammate Isaias Hinojosa.  Brittnie was again the winner by  an even bigger margin, leading teammate Kelly Luc and Veronica Vejar (SEM) by nearly a minute.

Jayson and Brittnie also led their schools to the team titles.  Among the boys, the Eagles will be joined at CIF by Rosemead and Arroyo, along with El Monte’s Brandon Martinez, who qualified individually.  SEM was very strong, putting 3 in the top 4 and 5 in the top 10.  The Panther girls, who placed 4 in the top 10, will move on with Arroyo and Gabrielino, and individual qualifier Veronica Vejar (SEM)
