The Cloverdale cross country team traveled to Willits for a league meet on Oct. 23, turning in a strong showing for the varsity boys and girls.
Although both Cloverdale and Willits lacked the minimum number of runners to field a scoring girls team, the Eagles got great efforts from Miriam Pulido (22:54, 5th overall), Liliana Olivares (30:59) and Kayla Gallego (30:59). Pulido’s time represented a season best on the 2.87-mile course.
The varsity boys got an automatic 15-point over the incomplete Willits team. Pacing the Eagles were Paden Collard, fresh off his 15:59 season best last Saturday at the Mariner Invitational. Collard was focused on pacing David Ortiz, with both coming in with a time of 16:54 (2nd and 3rd overall). Also running well were Joseph Faso (18:48), Finn Addison (20:57), Cary Wen (21:09) and Sadrac Fernandez (23:33).Â
