2022 XC - CIF-ss FINALS - 10 (Div 3, Boys)

This is the full course view of the Division 3 Boys CIF Southern Section cross country championship race held on November 19, 2022 at the Mt. SAC cross country course (2.93 miles).

The State D3 Champion wins this one, as well. Of course, after that 14:49 at the SAC Invite, this one seems a bit pedestrian at 15:03. As a frosh last year at Finals, Noonan was 62nd in 16:20. That was a heck of a summer he must have had. Behind Noonan was a very tight fight for second, senior on senior.

As for the teams, Dana was too solid in the third, fourth and fifth positions for anybody else to threaten. Consider if just the first 4 count, Santa Margarita wins with a score of 54, followed by Dana at 62 and Moorpark at 70. Dana's fifth man at 27th (scoring position) was a big deal. In stepping up to State the following week, that difference between Noonan and the rest of his team was just too big as Oakdale and Campolindo we just faster in those in-between positions. Dana should look even stronger next season as they are only running two seniors (#4 & #7) in their starting 7. Santa Margarita will lose their leader to graduation but everyone else should be back. See what they can do to fill in those #1 and #5 positions.
