Boys Sweep Final Regular Season Test; Johnson, Leach Climb HVP All-Time List
Rachel Johnson (15) sat on the shoulder of Acalanes' Annie Margraff through 2.5 miles of the Hidden Valley Park 3 mile course before surging ahead as the tandem approached the bridges leading to the base of Finale Hill. The confident sophomore ran away with the win, gapping the Dons' senior by 16 seconds to finish in 18:29.
The mark is the third fastest ever run by a Campolindo athlete on the course.
Also impressive was Brighie Leach (15), who used a dominating middle mile to move into third place. The newly recharged varsity veteran held on to that position, finishing in 18:50, which moves her to fourth on the Cougar All-Time list.
For the frosh soph boys, it was a chance to even the score after falling to Dublin in the first center meet of the season. With a tightly bunched pack, featuring five runners in the top nine, the youngsters showed just how much they've improved over the last five weeks. Parker Lothamer (15) finished in the runner-up position with the vastly improved Sam Lee (15) and Kevin Buckley (15) crossing the line in fourth and fifth. When the final scores were tallied, the Cougars had reclaimed the top spot in the DFAL by a point.
Also besting the rest of the league, the junior varsity and varsity boys' squads managed to keep their undefeated streaks alive.
