Here
is a roundup of local prep sports news:
CROSS
COUNTRY
Boulder
Creek made its first big splash in a meaningful race Sept.
16 when senior Daniel Lovell won the O’Connor/Ken Denson
Invitational. Lovell finished the three‑mile race
with a time of 15 minutes, 44.7 seconds, which was a little
more than two seconds better than second‑place Rodrigo
Rodriguez of Alhambra. The Jaguars finished 11th as a
team out of 15 schools. Ashley Zeek turned in the best
Boulder Creek girls performance with a 44th‑place
finish as the Jaguar girls took 12th.
It
was easy as 1‑2‑3‑4 for O’Connor’s girls
team at its home invitational last weekend. Lindsay Prescott,
Camille Olson, Aleina Eisenhauer and Jade Riley took the
first four places, respectively, to help the team to an
easy victory. Prescott finished the three‑mile race
with a time of 17:31.80, which was more than a minute
better than Olson. Other high finishers for O’Connor were
Kailey Rumbo (12th), Shannon Walsh (20th) and Ally Hertz
(21st). O’Connor’s boys team took seventh at the invitational,
led by Steven Cox’s 25th‑place showing.
Three
Cactus Shadows runners finished in the top 18 at the O’Connor/Ken
Denson Invitational. Patrick Cronin took eighth with a
time of 16:26.17, while Nick Zalewski finished 13th and
Kyle Short took 18th. The Falcons finished fourth as a
team, while Cactus Shadows’ girls team took eighth.
Cactus
Shadows’ boys team improved to 8‑0 in regular season

home course with a time of 16:20. Natalie Omundson won
the girls race with a time of 19:46.
