On the XC season’s first weekend, the biggest event for local schools was the Bosco Tech XC Invite, contested over a flat and fast 3 mile (4828m) course at the Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area in Irwindale, with the top local performances coming from Rowland boys – led by junior Nick Augulo Rivera (oops), with a 80:14 – 6th place finish, and the Los Altos girls, who were 13th 103:10 led by senior Nicolette Garcia’s 19:33 effort.
This event competes by school grade, and top action for the girls came in the Senior race, where Northview’s Elizabeth Esparza outleaned Bassett’s Zahina Rios for 9th place, with both timed at 19:21. The highest local finisher was Anna Trejo (Jr – Nogales), who was 3rd in the Junior race in 19:25.
Among the guys, the top performers and finishers were the Junior pair from Rowland, race winner Rivera (15:34) and second placed Jake Augulo (15:37).
