Laguna Blanca Girls Win Condor League Finals
The girls cross country team capped off an amazing season on Wednesday with an incredible result, pulling off the team win at Midland to become Condor League Champions!
This is a remarkable accomplishment given that Laguna only has the minimum number of girls needed to field a team and that a majority of them are new to running this year.
While the first four girls placing a stellar 1, 2, 4 and 6 laid the foundation for the victory, it was junior Sonya Kotler's performance that sealed the win for Laguna. "She had her best race of the season, vaulting up the rankings to deliver the Owls the slim score they needed for the win," said Coach David Silverander.
