Islander Cross Country: Morgan Maske Advances to State Meet

In the Cross Country finals at Morley Field last Saturday three of our runners made the All-CIF team and one advanced to the State Meet in Fresno on November 30.  Junior Mogan Maske advanced to the state meet by placing 11th out of 93 finishers in the Division 4 girls’ race with a time of 19.46 over the 2.96-mile CIF championship course at Morley Field. This will be her second trip to the state meet as she went with our girls’ team in 2023. Our second runner, soph Gwynne Letcher, finished just out of the state meet cutoff in 15th place with 20:23. Both girls are on the All-CIF team by placing among the top 20. Rounding out our scoring were Maesan Everitt, Nadia Roos, and Jaya Jost. The pushers were Ava Schlomer and Olivia Barker.
