The T-Birds competed in the last regular season meet of the year on their home course at the Yucaipa Community Park. The girls JV started off the day with a  2nd place finish as a team. Maddison Fries led the group with a 5th place finish in a time of 21:07. Maddison was joined in the top 10 by Tori Rivera (6th, 21:09), Abigail Gauslin (8th, 21:23), and Lia Caricato (9th, 21:27). The girls Varsity finished 3rd and clinched a playoff spot at CIF Prelims. The Lady T-Birds were only 9 points away from race winners Redlands East Valley. The girls were led by race winner and individual league champion Ellie Palmer. Ellie won the race in 18:28, defeating long time rival Katie Hornung of Redlands East Valley by 2 seconds and becoming the first girls individual champion since Kaitlyn Townsend did it in 2021. Ellie was joined in the top 10 by fellow All-League winners Elizabeth O'Brine (6th, 19:04) and Isabella Alonzo (7th, 19:08).

The boys varsity raced delivered the closest finish in CBL Finals history with Beaumont squeaking out a narrow 2 point victory over Yucaipa and Redlands East Valley who tied on points. Yucaipa ended in 2nd place because of the 6th runner tie breaker rule. It was a wild ending to the season as a different school won each of the three different league meets, something that has never been done before. The boys were led by Aidan Joyce's (15:26) 3rd place finish. Joining Aidan in the top 10 and receiving all-league honors was Nathan Nielsen (8th, 15:41). The boys JV delivered a dominant 26 point victory over Beaumont to remain undefeated in the league and secure the JV championship. Yucaipa placed 7 boys in the top 10 that included Ian Cintron 2nd, 16:37), Vincent Arreola (3rd, 16:37), Zach Trust (4th, 16:40), Trent Hohman (5th, 16:46), Collin Nielsen (6th, 16:46), Jacob McPherson (7th, 16:46), and freshman standout Kai Good (9th, 17:02).

 

Great job to everyone who competed at league finals and congrats on a great season to all those whose season ended on Saturday. The T-Birds will compete next at CIF Prelims at the legendary Mt. SAC course on Saturday, November 16. ​​

This resulted in the meet running two heats of the boys sophomore race. In heat 1 the boys were led by top 30 finishers Kaden Van Uffelen, Nathaniel Sahler, Vincent Arreola, and Collin Nielsen. In the second heat Sloan Hirsch won the race followed closely by his teammate Luke Tooker. Way to take advantage of the opportunity fellas!
