It started in July and now it is about to end. The South-bay league Cross Country finals were run Friday. The course: Bonita's Rohr Park, probably the fastest course that Southwest High ran this season. The weather was at a comfortable 65 F: good weather and fast course. This could only mean that some personal records were about be broken and perhaps some medals could be won.
It was awkward to have a small team on the last meet. The Boys' Varsity team remained untouched but the Boys' JV had only 5 runners to compete. The Girls' varsity team only had 4 runners to compete. The most noticeable absence was Captain Cassandra Palacios, who was sick during the whole week.
In the Boys' Varsity race, Sophomore Andrew Palacios ran a personal record ine the 3.1 mile race in a time of seventeen minutes and 44 seconds that got him int sixth place of the race , awarding him a medal.
In the Boys' JV race Senior Alan Valdovino ran the same race in a time of 20 minutes and 3 seconds. Valdovino ran personal record. Only 3 seconds away from breaking 20 minutes. This time got him a medal for 8th place in the Southbay League.
The girls race was led by Sophomore Yessenia Baylon. Although she did not place in the top 10, she ran a great race.
So after 4 months and about 400 miles run the season came to and end, with the Boys' Varsity team finished the season in sixth place. The Boys' JV team, finished in third place, and the Girls' Varsity team finished third as well.
