The wins put the girls at 8-2 for the season while the boys are 5-4. Both teams finish the regular season next Wednesday against Whittier Regional Tech.

After the meet coach, Jon Bush’ said that “it was another great team win by both teams. Although the weather was bad, our team has done a great job of practicing in the rain all season long and a race like today shows why those practices are the most important. I’m looking forward to getting back to work tomorrow to prepare to finish the season strong.”
