REVIEW: The girls’ league championship is back at Woodbridge High School after a four-year absence. League Finals 2010 was a great meet to end the season with. Our athletes competed very well and many achieved excellent times on a course with two pretty good size hills in it.
Our boys ran 78:00 compared to 78:05 in 2009 and 79:39 in 2008 to finish 2nd and advance to the CIF Championships. Our girls ran 89:56 compared to 92:28 in 2009 and 99:54 in 2008 to finish as the League Champions and advance to the CIF Championships. Dillon Scott was the individual boys’ varsity champion and Molly Babcock was the individual girls’ varsity champion. Our girls frosh/soph finished a close second in league with Lauren Kim leading the team; our boys frosh/soph finished second with Jeremy Carter leading the way; Ben Crellin led the boys JV to a 3rd place finish; and, Marissa Lara led the girls JV into a 3rd place finish.
All in all, it was a great way to finish a successful season. We worked hard during the season, we improved tremendously throughout the season and we laid the foundation to become even a better team next year than we are this year. This group of frosh athletes (boys and girls) ran so much faster than our previous frosh athletes have run. There is lots of talent in this young group. If this group continues to work hard, many will end up running on the varsity level as early as next year. Congrats to all!
ATHLETES OF THE MEET: Madeline Bradford (finished in the #3 scoring position) and Josh Kingsland (improved his PR).

4) Period 6 routine stays the same for the second quarter. We will continue to train and lift weights during 6th period.
Again, I want to personally thank all of the athletes and parents for a wonderful season. Your help and hard work made this a most enjoyable season for the coaches. I hope that each of you enjoyed a positive experience in cross country and will continue to participate on our running teams (track and cross country) and work on developing your talents in this area.
