Walnut, CA — Please see Team Pages for updates and current information regarding the team. https://teampages.com/teams/1063519-Los-Osos-Cross-Country-cross-country-running-team-website/announcements Mt. Sac Invitational Recap: Banged up a bit coming into the meet at Mt. SAC, the Grizzlies left a little more banged up after. Not the best way to enter the final stretch to the Baseline League Finals, but no doubt we aren’t alone. The grueling course can take a toll on the body, but it is the course by which all others are measured. The only change made since I ran it in 1981 was some permanent grooming on the initial “Valley Loop” that has led to much debate when comparing times from before and after…the year it happened escapes me. Noah Chairez once again led the boys with the #5 mark for Grizzly seniors over the hilly course. He also improves his hold on the #7 mark all time in school history. Fernando Hernandez ran a solid race to help the short-handed team to a 14th place finish. The sophomores finished 11th behind a 20th place finish by Maverick Chamberlin. Haley Jenson broke 21 minutes with Brigitte Sanchez finishing 2nd for the Grizzlies to lead the also short-handed girls to a 9th place finish. The team co-hosts the Baseline League Finals on Tuesday, November 1st at our favorite stomping grounds, Central Park. Start time will be announced as soon as I have the information.
