Division IV Girls Preview
Runner to beat: Skyler Wallace, Sage Creek
Team to beat: Foothill Technology
Individual competition
The two-time State and Foot Locker National champion, Claudia Lane of Malibu did not participate at the SS meet which means that we will have a new champion in this division. The favorites will come from the San Diego Section as Skyler Wallace of Sage Creek has been the most impressive runner to date in this division. She easily won her section final easily outdistancing younger sister, Stormy. Freshman Daniela Quintero of Harvard Westlake won the SS final ahead of Mayfield sophomore, Audrey Suarez. Foothill Tech's Lauren Kearney leads their team and will be among the top individuals. Natalia Quintero gives Harvard Westlake another strong one/two punch. Costa Mesa junior Diane Molina was also within striking distance at the SS meet and will be here as well. The top two runners from the Central Coast Section will be The King's Academy junior Anna Mokkapati and Santa Cruz junior Lila Roake.
