San Marcos girls cross country had its season come to a close with a 12th-place finish in the CIF-SS Division 2 finals on Saturday.
“I am so proud of our season,” Royals coach Marilyn Hantgin said. “Being a part of SM cross country is a true honor and I feel very lucky to get to work with such quality high school students.”
The Royals entered the race slotted into 16th place and jumped up four slots by the time the team crossed the finish line.
Kiala Haas once again led San Marcos with a personal best time of 17:49, good for 23rd place.
“Kiala really went for it today,” Hantgin said. “She knew it was probably her last high school race and she wanted to go out strong.”
Following up Haas’ impressive performance were Samara Shalhoub (18:49), Melina Vela (19:07), Colette Keller (19:21) and Gabby Jaramilla (19:55).
