Trabuco Hills boys impress
in season opener!
Photos by Rich Gonzalez
At left, Trabuco Hills Coach Liam Clemons poses
with six members of the Mustangs' varsity squad,
which clocked an impressive 78:42 on a 3.08-mile course to edge Upland
(79:12) by 30 seconds.
Trabuco Hills entered the season ranked #6 in the NTN California Region
rankings and Upland
entered at #4. Arcadia, the #10-ranked team in the NTN California Region,
placed third here.
At right, Upland is a girls team we project to turn many heads this
year as one of the most improved
squads in the Southland. The Highlanders, who entered the week ranked
9th in CIF-SS, won the girls'
division with a team time of 101:00. Trabuco Hills (102:36) edged Bolsa
Grande( 102:46) for second.
Upland's Ryan Gamboa (15:06) and Bolsa Grande's Rocio Pelayo (18:32)
had the day's top times.

Ayala girls put a major hurt
on top teams!
Ayala's girls -- still seething
over missing the state meet last year -- put in a fabulous summer
of training and the results played out in their season opener, knocking
off some big team names
by large margins. Murrieta Valley, which has reporetedly lost two key
runners for the season
and another for an indefinite period, place third behind Brea Olinda.
Murrieta Valley's boys
prevail in a tight team contest that saw the top five teams separated
by a mere 23 points.
