Eight East SGV teams raced over the 5000 meter course of the Brea Invite at Carbon Canyon Park. Last year’s fires made this already tough, twisting and hilly course even more difficult by adding about 400 meters of sandy surface to the route.
The Glendora boys (like many of the other teams, racing for the second time in the week) finished second overall, behind only #3 state-ranked Arcadia. The Tartans were led junior Anthony Castro‘s fourth place overall. His 16:24 is probably the best performance by an East SGV boy this season. The South Hills Girls were 6th overall, putting in a strong bid for Div. III post-season respect. They were led by Ashley and Vanessa Holguin, 20th and 21st overall. Charter Oak soph Carly Lake took a huge step forward with her 20:10 effort for sixth place overall.
