Treading through sand, mountains, and concrete all throughout the state, the boys and girls cross country team have “made their mark” in their races this season, earning second in league in mens and third for womens, along with countless top scores.

“This season started a great foundation for the future and the team had a very strong bond” said Cameron Leclair. Leclair has been competing on the boys Varsity cross country team for the last four years, running in the #1 spot for the last two. He earned fifth overall in league out of 41 runners.

The teams are both traveling to Fresno on

Nov. 18 to compete in the Central Section Cross Country Championships, boys in Division I and girls in Division II, hoping to take home another championship on their 5km race. The boys are competing with twelve other schools, which is between 60 and 84 runners, and the top ten runners can earn awards. For the girls, there are 16 other schools, a race with between 80 and 112 other girls. Each school can bring between 5 to 7 athletes, and the top five runners will earn points for the team.

“I’m excited for CIF because I hope to make it to state this year and I really love the course. I like having competition in a race and this race is really competitive so I’m super pumped,” junior Sydney Moore said. Moore earned third place in league, and is the second fastest runner for the girls varsity team.
