2016 XC Season Varsity Girls Individual Preview


Well the other day I previewed the boys and now I will give the girls' list a shot. There is definitely more unknown aspects to the girls' outlook. Four out of the ten ladies that made the All StanCo Team at the end of the last XC season were not mentioned in last year's preview. I suspect that this year will be no different. Honestly, frosh girls and soccer-playing girls have an impact every season. With all that being said, I am still game for the task, and I will base my selections on last year's track and XC results.

Starting with those who made last season's All StanCo Team:
ESMERALDA AGUAYO (Downey) 11th; 2014 and 2015 All StanCo, 12:46/5:50 during track

Mitchell, Langley, and Fife
ABIGAYLE MITCHELL (Hughson) 12th; 2015 All StanCo, she hurdles in track but she will lead this Husky team through the season

KINSEY LANGLEY(Hughson) 10th; 2015 All StanCo, 5:50 and 12:21 in track

EMILY FIFE (Hughson) 10th; 2015 All StanCo, had an awesome track season clocking 2:27 and 5:18
HILDA PEREZ (Modesto) 12th; 2015 All StanCo, she didn't run track, hopefully she is back racking u the miles and is ready to take over the reins of the MoHi program.

These five ladies had awesome XC seasons...of course there are others ripe to step into the void left by last year's graduates...


BRISEIDA GARCIA (Gregori) 10th; undoubtedly had that best track season of any StanCo runner by turning in times of 2:14, 5:13, 11:47

Fredeen and Varela
MARIA VARELA (Turlock) 12th; blossemed in track with times of 5:30 and 12:08


ESMERALDA CAMPOS (Hughson) 11th; the 4th member of the Husky juggernaut produced times of 5:37 and 12:28 in track

KATIE KRIEGER (Downey) 10th; she grew in strength and confidence during her rookie season and clocked 12:19 for 3200m
Bickel and Aguayo
MAKAELYN BICKEL (Downey) 11th; maybe ready to step up as the leader of the Lady Knights, clocked 12:27 for 3200m in track

The above ten ladies are my PreSeason All StanCo XC Team! I am excited to see them tearing up some trails. Of course someone will be hot of their heels...


Salsig and Fredeen
HOPE SALSIG (Turlock) 11th; begins the season still injured from track, ran 2:31 in track and if she can get healthy she'll be a force for the Bulldogs

ADE FREDEEN (Turlock)  12th; runs hurdles in track but don't discount her toughness and overall physical ability

Perillo and Young
ARYANA PERILLO (Modesto) 11th; 2:28 for 800m

KERRY YOUNG (Modesto) 12th; 2:29 for 800m


ALONDRA HERNANDEZ (Riverbank) 11th; 2:36/5:58. With the huge loses up front for the Bruins, it could be time for Alondra to step up and lead the way


KRISTEN AGUILAR (Oakdale) 12th; 12:41 for 3200m

SIENNA ESPINOZA (Gregori) 11th; she may be the toughest athlete of this list, never count her out, ran 12:49 for 3200m

SOFIA ANDRES (Turlock) 10th; 5:47/12:55 in her Frosh track season. As she get stronger she'll close the gap between her and Turlock's top three (Varela, Fredeen,Salsig)

MIKAYLA PERRY (Pitman) 11th; 5:52 for 1600m. Needs to work with Bazan and Garcia to vault the Pride to the upper reaches of the CCC

BIANCA GARCIA (Pitman) 11th; 2:33 for 800m

PRISCILLA BAZAN (Pitman) 11th; had an off track season after a hugely promicing XC season. I am looking for a fearsome rebound.

MEGAHANN LOFING (Downey) 11th; had a bit of an off season in XC.

My preview includes 22 runners...whom did I miss, please let me know.
