Rosie and Her Boys Advance to CIF Prelims

The Tri-Valley League Finals were contested at the Cal Lutheran University 3 mile course. The weather was ideal and the course tough, but OC athletes rose to the occasion.

The boys JV placed second avenging their previous loss to Nordhoff and claime second outright. Greg led the way for the BJV (19:35). David had a day off from play practice, so he came gave a performance in cross country instead (19:55). Robbie closed out his career with a lifetime best performance (20:16) and was the #3 BJV runner. Nick (20:17), Dylan, H (20:47), Dylan B (), Scott (), Anders () and Kevin () completed the team.

The girls varsity stepped to the line next to give it one more shot. Roseanne battled the leaders beautifully to claim runner up honors (19:17). Morgan (22:27), Emily (23:35) and Samantha (23:58) completed the GV finishers. The course got the best of Megan and Erin who attempted their season debut, but their aling injuries caused them to end the day early.

The boys varsity placed second in a tightly fought race. At the half way point the boys had Oak Park on the ropes, but Nordhoff'd top 3 runners were causing problems. The OP slipped away this time and OC answered all of Nordhoff's threats. The boys will see Nordhoff in the post-season. Charlie attacked the two leaders in the last mile and made the senior from Nordhoff earn every step as Charlie (16:22) grabbed runner up honors and first team all league honors for the second time. Ethan earned first team all league honors placing 5th (16:49). Hunter (17:24) and Rafael (17:30) earned second team all league honors placing 11th and 12th respectively. Nick (17:54), Justin (18:14) and Tyler (18:43) rounded out the squad.

Girls JV closed the day for the Lions with a fourth place team finish. This was the first complete team perfomance by the JV team in a TVL meet this season. Kayla (), Marta (), Shaleene (), Sara (), Jenna () and Lillian () were our team.
