The Warriors Girls Cross Country team captured the Division 3 Runner-up title Saturday in a constant drizzle on Mt. SAC's rain course and now advance to the State Championships this Saturday in Fresno.
With the D3 champion Palos Verdes team winning with exceptional performances of their top two runners, the Warriors were fueled instead by an entire team effort. Woodbridge's scorers had an amazing gap spread of only 50 seconds. Team results.
With not a single senior in their top seven runners, the Warriors were led by juniorsMolly Babcock (9th place, 19:02), Nicole (Coco) Evans (21st, 19:28), freshman Madeline Bradford (27th, 19:38), and junior Annie Chan (31st, 19:41).
But, the team's runner of the meet was sophomore Alyssa Gutcher (38th, 19:52) who turned in her best performance of the season and was a major reason that Woodbridge held off third-place Corona del Mar. Individual results.
Sophomores Olivia Rodriguez (71st, 20:31) and Alexis Abad (80th, 20:46) completed the individual performances for the Warriors.
