For some teams this week was been the aim of the whole season. Some teams and athletes will ultimately move onto SJS and/or State, but for many their team winning league or a high league individual placement is the pinnacle of the season.
As you will read, very few of the races for a league title are in flux. There are a few exceptions: CCC VB; CCAL VG, and TVL VB are the only real team titles that haven't been sewn up already.
TUE 10/27 SAL CHAMPIONSHIPS @ River Bluff Park, Ceres
The competing South SJS teams are Delhi, Denair, Waterford, and LeGrand. The varsity races are 5K.
Although the VB races have been close between Delhi, Denair, and Waterford...ultimately Delhi won the first two races in both the VB and VG divisions.
WED 10/28 WAC CHAMPIONSHIPS @ River Bluff Park, Ceres
The competing South SJS teams are Livingston, Lathrop, Pacheco, Beyer, Ceres, Central Valley, Grace Davis, and Johansen. The varsity races are 5K
The Beyer varsity boys and girls won both the previous cluster meets. As an individual Beyer's Anahi Ruiz Velasco ran away from the field at both meets. At Cluster 2, her teammate Tyleah Badea was second. On the boy's side Beyer's Alex Mejia Hidalgo won Cluster 2 and is the favorite. He will be challenged by his teammates Maddox Young and Ethan Samulski
WED 10/28 CCC CHAMPIONSHIPS @ Lake Yosemite, Merced

WED 10/28 TVL CHAMPIONSHIPS @ River Bluff Park, Ceres
The competing South SJS teams are Escalon, Ripon, Ripon Christian, Hughson, Sonora, Orestimba, and Hilmar. The varsity races are 5K.
On the girls' side, Hughson cruised to both wins in the previous clusters with Grace Benitez (Hughson) grabbing the individual wins. The second team spot could be close between Ripon, Orestimba, and Hilmar. For the boys, Hughson and Sonora split the first two races. Sonora's Landon Wilson took both of the individual victories.
WED 10/28 VOL CHAMPIONSHIPS @ Mistlin Park, Ripon
The competing South SJS teams are Oakdale, Mountain House, Manteca, Sierra, East Union, Central Catholic, and Patterson.
The Oakdale varsity boys and girls won the first two clusters. Sierra finished second in both divisions at both clusters. Sierra's Anna Dittman won both of the clusters, but at the final meet there is league individual status on the line. If Patterson's Jaylyn Carrillo is healthy and Oakdale's Addison Wylie were to go all out, the race between her, Dittman and Carrillo could be very close. On the boys' side Weston McGhee is the top dog. If he wants the win it is his. Oakdale's Quinn Baca, Sierra's Sebastien Paterson will likely battle for the runner up spot.
WED 10/28 CCAL CHAMPIONSHIPS @ TRRP (Legion), Modesto
The competing South SJS teams are Modesto, Downey, Gregori, Enochs, Turlock, and Pitman. The varsity races are 5K.
The Turlock boys won both clusters easily with Modesto second. Modesto's Ivan Rodriguez won both individual races Turlock's Porter Petty and Gavin Martin will likely be Ivan's top competitors. On the girls' side Roselynn Dominguez (Modesto) won both meets. On the girls' team side it was a split between Turlock and Gregori. Turlock's Mylie Olson and Gregori's Evelyn Avalos Amaya will compete for the second place.
WED 10/28 MLL CHAMPIONSHIPS @ Calaveras County Fairgrounds, Angels Camp
The competing South SJS teams are Riverbank, Big Valley, Bret Harte, Linden, Calaveras, and Summerville.
The Riverbank VB and VG squads are undefeated in the first three MLL clusters. The Summerville boys and the Calaveras girls were the runners up in all of the meets. Zuri Golding and Armando Garcia, of Riverbank, are both undefeated in MLL competition. Bret Harte's Josie Rael might have a chance in the VG race given that this is a difficult course and her home course.
The only competing South SJS team is Denair. All race are 2 mi.
