FINALLY
After months of on again, off again practice, school and training, we've finally got a REAL CROSS COUNTRY MEET under our belts!

| Hughson Boys Lead the JV Pack |
The Stanislaus County members of the Southern League and Trans Valley League met up at Diblo Grande for our first of 3 meets this year. Hughson showed off the fitness we've been slowly developing over the last year by winning every division: JV Boys, JV girls, Varsity Boys, and Varsity Girls.
Our JV boys were led by Ezra Arambula and Hudson Conners, who both set 2 mile PRs of 12:05. Ezra and Hudson were pushed early on by Logan Prescott of Denair, but eventually pulled away to win by 46 seconds.

Our JV girls were led by Maggie Scarioni and Julie Parks, who also both set PRs on the day.

In the Varsity Boys race, Joe Lighthall led 9 Hughson runners into the top 12 overall. Joe was joined early by Evan Espinoza, a 4:47 miler from Waterford High. Eventually Lighthall pulled away to win by 40 seconds, while Espinoza was overtaken by Brian Campos of Hughson for second.

The varsity girls race was the one competition where we did not have the individual race winner, as 2 tough runners from Waterford, Carmen Figueroa and Monica Gutierrez, led from start to finish. However, our girls packed well, taking places 3-7 to easily win the team competition. A resurgant Camille Haupt led our girls, in the absensce of normal #1 runner Taylor Scheuber, who was nursing a lower leg injury.

It was very gratifying to see our kids experience the success that comes from persevering through challenging circumstances. I'm very proud of this group. GO HUSKIES!
