The Santa Ynez High boys cross country rounded out a strong team season last week with an Ocean League championship.

The Pirates claimed the league title by finishing 42 points ahead of the field in the championship meet at the Cuesta Fairbanks Course in San Luis Obispo.

While the team season has come to a close, the Santa Ynez duo of Dimitri Nicolaou and Gabriel Guzman will represent the Pirates in the CIF-CS postseason beginning next week.

Nicolaou and Guzman have led the way, and the rest of the Santa Ynez racers are Adam Sutherland, Jackson Hawxhurst, Lucas Sommer, Alex Sutherland and Luke Sutherland.

The Pirates also turned in a second-place showing at the Mt. SAC Invitational and a fourth-place performance at the Dos Pueblos Invitational this season.
