Cross Country:
The cross country team traveled to Mt. San Antonio College to compete in a long standing cross country tradition, the Mt. SAC Invitational. The freshman girls race kicked off first with Olivia Wilder leading the way and scoring 10th place overall. She was supported by Sofia Botimer, Kendall Duncan, Sam Scopis, and Keely Gallagher. The boys freshman race followed where the team scored 3rd place overall! This effort was led by Bo Sanderson and Leo Nguyen crossing the line at the exact same moment. The boys were closely followed by teammates Henry Burns, Jonah Moreno, and Byron Mendez. The sophomore girls also had great success as a team and secured 3rd place as a team in their race! Natalie Vasques led the charge and was closely followed by Miley Bases.
The next scoring runners in this race were Christina Hernandez, Emilie Sanchez, and Brooke Tanner. Sophomore boys raced next. Drake Bromley came in first for Fullerton and was supported by Blake Miyasato, Nico Martin, Arjun Kennington, and Dylan Juarez. Girls JV followed with Alexa Lopez and Matia Ornelas leading. They were supported by Karly Kakimoto, Vinny Suarez-Villalvazo, and Evelyn Arreola. Boys JV followed with Brendan Kojima and Adam Zibell representing Fullerton in this race. As the day finally began to cool down, girls varsity got on the line to race the iconic course in the individual sweepstakes race. Morgan McAndrew came in first for Fullerton and was succeeded by Reagan Glidewell. Sofia Tabbal, Azumi Fuertes, and Melina Sibal all scored points for Fullerton in this race.
The last race of this challenging course was boys varsity. Jack Golla led and was followed by Jude Banda and Maximiliano Olivar. Nathan Karcher and Ryan Leitner also scored in this race. With awards only being given to the top 15 in each race and the warm conditions, this invitational was both a mental and physical challenge that still ended in Fullerton securing some medals.

The girls varsity team stands to defend its first place standing and boys varsity strives to advance from third place. The team has high aspirations and is looking forward to the competition.
