Yucaipa's Girls
Seriously, where did they come from? Not only were the Thunderbirds not included in the Sweeps or Rated, they weren't actually even there on Saturday at all! If you looked at the Combined Results, then you know that Yucaipa rode their 1-2-4-5-7 performance in the Red Varsity B race to the 3rd-best team total of any California school in the meet. That's ahead of teams we ranked in the top 10 during our XC Preseason Countdown, like Serrano and Buchanan - and those teams didn't run poorly at all! We had the Thunderbirds at #23 in the preseason, so this wasn't TOTALLY out of left field, but still...these girls had themselves a DAY.
