PreSeason All StanCo Girls' XC Team

A repeat brief explanation here (in case you didn't read the previous post). I normally finish the season by naming an All-Stan Co team of ten males and ten females. I think I will begin the year with a PreSeason listing. Maybe I don't need to qualify my comments, but I will. Much of what I have to say is based on last year's track and XC competition and results. Honestly I have no way of knowing if all of these athletes are even competing this season. Certainly, some could even be injured. I will also add that being named on this list means nothing. There is no substitute for long miles, hard work, and true dedication to your goals. I wish everyone the best of luck this season.

GIRLS PRESEASON ALL-STANCO 

 Kim Ruvalcaba (Riverbank) 12th--the cream of this list; 1st in TVL; 2:28/5:27/11:27 times from track.

Names and Mendoza

Savannah Mendoza (Modesto) 12th--2nd in all MMC races and top StanCo runner at Subs; 5:37 in track
Arielle Names (Downey) 12th--1st in all MMC meets last season; 2:24 in 800m

Haylee Osgood (Downey) 12th--4th in MMC XC; HUGE PR in track of 5:38

Esmeralda Aguayo (Downey) 10th--3rd in MMC as Frosh; 12:11 in track

Stephanie Bernal (Riverbank) 12th--emerged as a real threat by producing times of 5:55 and 12:18 in track

Arianna Lara (Turlock) 10th--was 3rd in CCC XC as a Frosh and produced times of 2:30/5:44/12:52 in track.

Victoreya Maravilla (Gregori) 12th--injured for much of last season but still was 10th at MMC and ran 2:29 in track

Hailey Rodriguez Delany (Enochs) 12th --her talent is deceiving; she was 7th in MMC and 6th at SubSects last XC season

Torres leading Osgood, Erika Martinez, and Rodriguez Delany

Mya Torres (Gregori) 12th--Is she running this year? Last year she was injured for much of the season. Her talent can not be ignored in that she is one of only 2 active MMC runners that have broken 20:00 on the MMC course.


SO MANY OTHERS TO CONSIDER
Nicole Warwick (Modesto Christian) 11th--a huge distance talent whose interests lie in the sprints

Hilda Perez (Modesto) 11th--9th in MMC XC; 12:40/5:54

Cassie Derdivanis (Turlock) 12th--10th StanCo finisher at last year's SubSect meet

Heavyn Herroz (Hughson) 12th--13th TVL; 2:27/5:55

Joslyn Beliera (Riverbank) 11th--7th TVL XC; is a real distance talent whose interest is split between running and softball.
Makaelyn Bickel (Downey) 10th--5th in MMC XC as a Frosh
Erika Martinez (Downey) 11th--8th MMC XC 

Bianca Garcia (Pitman) 10th--really came into her own as a Frosh in track 2:31/5:54; this year's XC should be her real coming out party
Meghann Lofling (Downey) 10th--2:30 800m in track as a Frosh
Maria Varela (Turlock) 11th--5:48 1600m
Sarah Hollcraft (Hughson) 11th--5:42 1600m (I have been informed that she isn't running XC in favor of Volleyball) Too bad.
Esmeralda Campos (Hughson) 10th--impressive 5:42 and 12:33 marks as a Frosh. She could easily leap into the upper group.
Kristan Aguilar (Oakdale) 11th--5:48 1600m 

Kyannah Hernandez (Oakdale) 12th--5:53 1600m
Priscilla Bazan (Pitman) 10th--5:49 1600m as a Frosh
