Congratulations to the girls' cross country team on their success at the CIF - SS Championships and for qualifying for the State Championships. The girls finished 4th in D 2 (same position we have been ranked for the past 8 weeks), ran the 6th best time of all the schools in all the 5 divisions. Only 2 schools from the other divisions ran a faster time. Tough D 2 this year. Our girls ran faster than the winning team did in D 3 (our division last year). Their time (92:16) is a school record for Mt Sac and it is the # 11 best time ever in the history of D 2 at Mt Sac.
Molly Babcock (17:32) finished 7th in the race, ran the 12 best time of the day (there were 750 girls running at the CIF Championships) , and the # 62 all-time best time at Mt Sac (thousands of girls have run this course the past 36 years of its existance). Coco Evans finished (17:50) finished 15 in the race, ran the 26th best time of the day. Alyssa Gutcher finished 38th in the race (18:31) and recorded the 79th best time of the day. Annie Chan (18:46), Madeline Bradford (19:37), Ana-Paola Laveaga (19:58) and Alexis Abad (20:10) rounded up our team.
This was an excellent performance by our girls and we are proud of them!
Next, our girls will be competing at the State Championships in Fresno (Woodward park( next Saturday) where they hope to repeat last year's feat of finishing in the top 3 and standing on the podium to collect their medals. They will face the three teams that finished ahead of us today plus La Costa Canyon from Carlsbad. They stand a good chance to being up on the podium again. We are an excellent team and on a given day, we can finish ahead of those schools
Wish us luck!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration with your families and friends.
Coach Varvas
