At the DFAL Cross Country Championships on Nov. 7, the Campolindo cross country teams defended all six of their team titles and won five of six individual races.

In the girls' varsity race, Campo senior Hana Sun made a push up the final hill to beat Miramonte freshman phenom Cassidy Haskell and defending state champion, Chloe Hansel of Las Lomas. It was Sun's first varsity win.

Jared Yabu, a Campo junior, notched the first league victory of his career as he used a blistering final mile to beat Dublin's Anirudh Surapaneni by 17 seconds. Defending league champion Cameron Gaskell of Acalanes finished third.

Campo sophomore Jessie Foxworthy ran away from the field to win the girls' frosh-soph race. Teammates Kira Riegelhuth and Elizabeth Garcia also finished in the top five to help secure the team title.

In the boys' frosh-soph race, a tandem of Dublin runners finished first and second with Acalanes' Christian Lyons taking third. However, Campo runners Colin Lekki, Timothy Sams, Teddy Buckley, and Casey Chambers took the next four spots to lead their team to victory.

Campo senior Robin Powell repeated as the JV girls' champion as she led wire-to-wire to outdistance Las Lomas' Cassidy Powell and Campo's Maria Forest.

The Campo JV boys continued their league dominance as they won their ninth consecutive team title. Juniors Kyle Flett and Navid Boozarpour led the way finishing first and second.

The varsity teams will now move onto NCS in Hayward this Saturday (Nov. 21), and if they qualify, would participate in the State Meet in Fresno on Nov. 28.
