Analy standout Alec Dierke led a strong West County contingent, capturing ninth place overall among varsity boys. Rounding out the top five Tigers were Jack Reynolds (21st), Josh Bergbauer (22nd), Clayton Christensen (28th) and Jimmy Carreras (33rd).   
El Molino’s Jake Chauvin paced the Lions with an 11th place finish, followed by teammates Eric Riordan (13th), Cassius Phillips (18th), Mael Chevrolet (29th) and Grant Feige (31st).    
Analy’s Grace Moussa was the top female finisher for the Tigers, followed by teammates Aquielle Nelson (9th), Amy Melman (21st), Claire Nelson (22nd) and Kennedy Parish (23rd).
