CIF Prelims Recap

Girls Win their Prelim Heat Second Year in a Row!
Boys Qualify for 6th Consecutive CIF SS Finals

Sat, Nov 15th – The boys started the day racing in heat 2 of 2 for the division 4 boys prelims. Charlie (15:51 – OC Senior record) glided to a runner up finish and Hunter (16:46) cruised to a seventh place finish to lead the boys in qualifying for OC’s sixth consecutive CIF SS Finals. The boys placed eighth in the heat, and had the twelfth fastest time among the sixteen qualifying teams. Ryan Huning running a personal record (PR) 17:59, Robbie Thomson (18:57), AJ King (19:13 PR), Nick Matra (19:23 PR) and Stephen Cooper (19:23 PR) were the balance of the squad. The boys will be taking aim at a top 7 spot or better to advance to the State Finals for the third consecutive year.

The Girls won the prelims heat 3 of 3 for the second year in a row and second time in OC history…the only other time they were that good they won the State Title!! But first things first, the girls will be toeing the line at CIF SS Finals with the number four fastest qualifying team time which is an improvement from their number ten end of the regular season ranking. Emily Fuld (20:16 PR) and Cristy Garcia (20:22) cruised to a third and fourth place finish. Tina Boskovich (20:40), Niki MacWhirter (20:53 PR), Fallon Cislo (21:48), Catherine Price (22:00) and Megan Huning (22:15 PR) sealed the victory. The team time was the third fastest in OC history. It is time to hang another banner in the Dallas Athletic Center!! With a victory in either (or both) of the next two Saturday races (CIF SS Finals and State Finals) the girls will hang a championships banner (or two) in the gym, and leave their mark on the history of Oaks Christian Athletics!!! Go Lions!!
