Second place finishes for Dos Pueblos boys, girls cross countryThe Dos Pueblos High School boys and girls cross country squads each finished second in a non-league road meet on Saturday.
The girls varsity team came up with a score of 52, finishing behind Ventura High School’s 44. Scoring were senior Phoebe Wolfe Lyons, senior Ellie Gleason, senior Reese Wahlberg, junior Sophie Saleh and sophomore Quinn Gleason.
“Phoebe Wolfe Lyons and Ellie Gleason started conservatively and moved up throughout the race until Phoebe was in the lead by half-way and Ellie moved up into third,” said girls Coach Micks Purnell. “I was really glad to see Reese Wahlberg coming into form after having had to take a few weeks off from running late summer because of an injury. She, Sophie Saleh, and Quinn Gleason work nicely together moving up through the field for most of the race.”
The boys varsity team managed a score of 69, finishing just behind the 62 of Santa Barbara High School. Scoring for Dos Pueblos were sophomore Eamon Gordon, senior Tyler Jamieson, senior Orlando Ye, Junior Dominic Corral and sophomore Andy Brennan.
“Today, Eamon put on a terrific surge with one mile to go, and secured his victory in the Boys Varsity race,” said boys Coach David Jackson. “In the JV race, Luciani Koroshec led our tightly bunched pack according to plan and separated himself from the competition over the second half of the race.”
Winners of individual races won a back-pack, and three Dos Pueblos runners came away with one, as Lyons won the girls varsity race, Gordon took the victory in the boys varsity race and Luciani Koroshec won the boys JV race.
