2022 XC - CIF-ss FINALS - 06 (Div 2, Boys)

A team for the ages led by senior twins who exude the positive energy that underlies cross country. This is our last full course look at the best cross country team to ever run in the Southern Section. And we have had no shortage of great teams over the years. We are grateful for the small things in life that make a big difference and this team has made a big impact on the sport at this level. With this final race, we get to see them at their best on the toughest high school course in America.

But this race is not just about Newbury Park although our presentation might make you think so. There is also the rising energy of Ventura High School, led by Fast Horse. That is a story that we need to look into. Along with fellow junior teammate Grossman, they go 4-5. You can also enjoy that impressive team spread of 0:39 put in by the team from Mira Costa.

Toast to this group of athletes at your Thanksgiving feast.
