Cross Country: Orange County Championships will now be a two-day meet

May 14th, 2013, 10:39 am by

The county’s premier cross country invitational will be expanding next season, as the Orange County Cross Country Championships will now be a two-day meet.

The dates for the 2013 meet are Friday and Saturday, October 18th-19th at Irvine Regional Park in Orange.

Foothill cross country coach and meet director Matt Bell confirmed the move and the dates, citing the growing popularity of the meet along with other events being held simultaneously at the park creating the need to spread the invitational out from its traditional one-day format.

Releaguing: Principals approve Century conference, Yorba Linda only school moved

March 28th, 2013, 12:53 pm by

IRVINE Orange County principals voted during their final re-leaguing meeting Thursday to create a conference out a slightly new-look Century League that adds Yorba Linda.

The eight-school conference will add Yorba Linda to the existing group of Brea, Foothill, Villa Park, El Modena, Esperanza, Canyon and El Dorado. The conference gives the Century the ability to create two separate football leagues, for example, or operate two leagues under the banner of the conference.

South County’s Coast View Athletic Association also features a conference configuration with the South Coast and the Sea View leagues.

Yorba Linda opposed the move and was the only school moved in the county’s re-leaguing recommendation for the 2014-2018 cycle. The recommendation needs to be approved by the CIF-Southern Section council.

The final proposal had a big-time rival today but county leagues appear as if they will remain the same – except for the Century conference.

Girls cross country: Newport’s Tennison headed to UCLA

February 4th, 2013, 9:05 am by

Newport Harbor senior Paige Tennison has confirmed that she has committed to run next season at UCLA.

“I am absolutely ecstatic with my recent commitment to UCLA,” Tennison said in an email. “The first time I went on campus I had a pretty good feeling that UCLA was where I wanted to go, and after my official visit, I knew that UCLA was 100 percent the place for me.”

Tennison, a two-time first team all-county runner, was also named the Register’s 2012 Cross Country Runner of the Year after blossoming into one of the state’s top runners. She became the first county runner since former Woodbridge star Christine Babcock (2006-07) to repeat as sweepstakes champion at the Orange County Championships.

Tennison won the Sunset League individual title and was the CIF-SS Division 2 champion.

She capped her stellar running campaign by placing fourth in Division 2 at the CIF State Cross Country Championships.

Among some of the other schools that Tennison considered were Cal and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.

Girls cross country: CIF State Championships (County breakdown)

November 23rd, 2012, 9:25 pm by

Here is a look at the teams and individual runners that are scheduled to run at the 2012 CIF State Cross Country Championships Saturday at Woodward Park in Fresno.

Division 1

Teams

CAPISTRANO VALLEY

MARINA

SAN CLEMENTE

Individual

HALEY SEWARD (EDISON, SR.)

Outlook: Capistrano Valley, which has consistently been on the doorstep of becoming one of the county’s best teams, broke through this season and will be making its first ever state meet appearance. The Cougars finished third at the CIF-SS Division 1 finals, best among the six county schools that competed. Defending state champion San Clemente was fourth, 21 points behind its South Coast League rival. Both the Cougars and Tritons, who have been effective at pack running this season, had a 42-second scoring gap between scoring runners should once again employ that strategy in the hopes of landing on the podium. Sunset League champion Marina (third at the state meet last season) was sixth last week. Senior Kylie Nishisaka placed sixth and had the best time of all county runners in the division. Chargers senior Haley Seward has been hindered by injuries throughout the early portion of the season, but has come on strong in the last few weeks. She was ninth at the CIF-SS Finals and had the fourth best overall time of all county runners. All eyes will be on the highly anticipated team title battle between fellow Southern Section powers Great Oak and Simi Valley, who finished first and second at the CIF-SS Finals. Simi Valley junior Sarah Baxter, perhaps the nation’s best high school runner, is considered an overwhelming favorite to win her third individual state title in as many years.
