On Wednesday, September 26, cross country boys competed in their first Moore League race against Wilson, Millikan, Cabrillo, and Lakewood.
Three divisions raced at the El Dorado Park consisting of varsity, junior varsity, and freshman/sophomore. The race course was made up of flat ground, with two one-and-a-half-mile loops to complete the three mile course. Starting with the varsity boys, a never before seen five man pack (consisting of Bautista, Daniel, Alexander Matos, Ronan McMahon, Zane Whittier, and Christopher Yontz) lead the way to the finish line with an average 15:48 finishing time.
The remaining varsity runners (Aldo Khiev and Devin Koval) tagging along with an average 16:10 finishing time. As the dust settled, varsity boys had crushed the competition, winning first place.
Junior Varsity as well won first in their division, with the top seven runners (Ezequiel Barraza, Travis Bryson, Ethan Dwinell, Clark Boyce, Andrew Huerta, Marcello Murillo, and Adam Traut) averaging a finishing time of 16:27.
To end it off with a bang, freshmen/sophomore competitors cut the race close, but pulled ahead with the top seven runners (Nicholas Mejia, Nathan Jimenez, Daniel Garcia, Dominic Bakly, Adan Garcia, Jay Kumar, Pablo Lopez, Adrian Scancich) averaging a 17:40 finishing time.
Poly’s own cross country boys team won all three divisions and are gearing up for the rest of the Moore League races as well as a number of invitationals, with the varsity traveling to Portland and Santa Barbara.
