Isabella Wroblewski Takes First Place, Varsity Girls Take Team Title
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: Yorba Linda Cross Country turned in a standout performance at the Century Conference Preview at Yorba Regional Park, highlighted by an individual varsity victory, a girls varsity team title, and several top finishes across the day’s races. Races were rescheduled from late afternoon to morning in an effort to avoid athletes competing in triple-digit temperatures, but temps still climbed into the 90s!
The Varsity Girls led the way for the Mustangs, capturing first place as a team out of 15 area schools. Senior Isabella Wroblewski claimed the individual title, winning the three-mile race in 17:28.1. Freshman Sofia Wroblewski added an impressive fifth-place finish in 17:52.9, while senior Savannah Gonzalez crossed the line sixth in 18:18.4. Sophomore Brooke Habbestad gave Yorba Linda a fourth runner in the overall top 10, finishing eighth in 18:49.9. Senior Emily Maurer finished 19:25.1 in as the fifth scoring runner for Yorba Linda, securing a first-place win for the team.
The Varsity Boys finished sixth as a team in a deep conference field. Junior Carlos Barry led Yorba Linda, running 16:13.3 for 22nd place. Senior Rio Maldonado followed in 16:30.6, with junior Ryan Wang close behind in 16:33.7, giving the Mustangs their top three varsity boys times of the morning. The Varsity Boys finished first in the Freeway League.
In the Girls Frosh/Soph two-mile race, sophomore Aubrey Maurer delivered another big performance for YLHS, racing to second place in 13:53.0. Freshman Jackie Voegltly finished in 17:40.7.
Yorba Linda also competed in the Boys JV two-mile race, with junior Landon Dreyfus finishing in 13:21.7.
Overall, the day belonged to the YLHS varsity girls, who placed four runners in the top eight, won the team competition, and were led by Isabella Wroblewski’s individual victory. The Mustangs came away from the Conference Preview with a strong early look at their Century Conference competition and several impressive performances heading deeper into the 2026 season.
The Boys Frosh/Soph contest was cancelled due to high heat. Next time, guys!
