“Everyone performed great at one of the best meets in the United States,” head coach Guy Fowler shared. “We are super excited about the girls winning their division because they beat some really good teams from all over the state of California and Nevada. Weston ran an unbelievable race in the championship race. Had he run with the team in the Division 4 race, he would have won that race and the team would have been in the top three. Overall, a very good day.”
