The Whitter girls did what was expected, putting their scoring five in the first eleven to drop a low 26 points on their Del Rio rivals. The easy race winner Dorantes was joined up top by junior teammate Rochelle Viramontes 3rd/18:31.
Just ten points separated the next three teams, with each placing two runners in the top ten.  California was second, led by frosh Zoe Gurule 6th/19:11, just edging out El Rancho, paced by Esmeralda Morales 2nd/18:20.
La Serna missed third by just three points – their best was Alessandra Arevelo 9th/19:41.  Soph Sarah Garcia 12th/19:55 was best for Santa Fe.  Pioneer did not enter Varsity athletes.
California are still rolling from their Rated (and 8th overall) win at Woodbridge, and even absent a top runner, a steady effort was enough for a 22 point finish, as the Condors put five in the first eight.  Senior Cuellar was followed across the line by junior Angel Aguirre in 15:24.
El Rancho edged Whittier for second with a better sixth man.  In a closely contested battle, Donald Brown led the Dons at 3rd/15:28, but #6 man Jonathan Modesto 17th/16:14 broke the tie, besting Whittier’s #5 by just three seconds!
The next three teams were well back.  Fourth-placed Santa Fe’s best was Luis Viteri 23rd/17:13.  La Serna was next, paced by Diego Berrera 14th/16:06 while Mario Gomez was best for Pioneer at 22nd/16:48
