The City Section cross country championships are set for next Thursday in Elysian Park and Palisades High has a chance to sweep the boys and girls Division I races for the second time in three years. Based on results from the Western League Finals last week at Pierce College, the Dolphins will be hard to beat.
Palisades’ girls claimed the first seven spots while the boys took six of the top eight in the varsity competition. Senior Daila Harinck clocked 18:05.9—a career best for three miles. Maya Bhasin was second in 18:55.2, Zoey Morris was third in 18:56.2, Louisa Mammen was fourth in 19:35.2, Maribel-Henderson-Maclennan was fifth in 19:26.2, Eleanor Mammen was sixth in 19:53.8 and Kendal Shaver was seventh in 19:54.3. The boys were almost as dominant. Jackson Taylor set the pace at 15:29.6, followed by fellow senior Zach Cohen (15:38.6). Theo Mayeda (15:55.8) was fourth, Lajus Collins (16:06.6) was sixth, Andrew Razo (16:13.5) was seventh and Justin Funk (16:19.9) came in eighth. They are vying for their fifth straight City title.
