Recap: Century Conference Preview

Yorba Regional Park – Wednesday, September 11, 2024

OC’s lingering hot spell broke just in time for yesterday’s Century Conference Preview, but our Yorba Linda Mustangs never turned down the heat and placed second among the meet’s 15 schools. Within the Crestview League, Girls Varsity came in second and Boys Varsity placed third. 

Mustang runners placed near the top in nearly every category, with Isabella Wroblewski (10) and Dante Maldonado (12) each taking first place overall in varsity races. In the Girls Varsity category, our Mustangs had three top-ten finishers in a field of 98 runners. Isabella finished at 17:52, Brooke Boyd (11) set a new PR of 18:10 coming in 5th overall, and Olivia Reed (12) finished 9th. Additional PRs for girls varsity runners included Penelope Fournier (12) 19:11, Katie Thompson (10) 19:30 and (10) Emily Maurer 19:56. All seven women’s varsity runners finished with sub-20-minute times.

In Boys Varsity, Dante Maldonado set a blistering 14:55 PR, a new school record, and his first sub-15 race this season. Dante placed first overall in a field of 110 competitors, and with this PR, now has the fastest boys XC time in school history–beating an existing record set in 2015. Toren Habbestad (11) finished 5th overall with a PR of 15:15. Ky Savalia (12) achieved a new PR of 15:38, while Rio Maldonado (10), Jacob Ortillano (12), Jack Karcher (12) and Ryan Olivas (11) all posted sub-17-minute times. Rio 16:11, Jack 16:55 and Ryan 16:59 all set new PRs.

Rory Hartzheim (12) and Lorelai Pohl (11) both finished strong in the top ten in Girls JV, with Lorelai setting a new PR of 21:59. Riley Yoon (12) finished strong in the Boys JV contest.

In the Girls Frosh/Soph race, our lady Mustangs had two freshman top-10 finishers: Danela Felix, finishing 5th out of 155 competitors with a time of 21:05, and Sydney Van Stralen, who finished 9th with a time of 21:42. Lizzie Clark (9) and Noosha Hassanian (10), who posted a PR of 22:36, placed 11th and 14th, respectively.
