RIVERSIDE -- It was business as usual for the favorites on Saturday, Day 2 of the CIF-Southern Section Preliminaries at the Riverside Championship Course.
Divisions 2, 4 and 5 ran qualifying heats designed to advance 24 teams and up to five individuals not associated with qualifying teams per division per gender onto the Nov. 23 CIF-SS Championships to be held on the same flat 3-mile tree-lined course in Riverside.
Among those going through paces were defending section champions Nico Young, a senior at Newbury Park, in Division 2 (also the defending State D-II champ), Maddie Coles, a sophomore at Claremont, in D-2, Mia Barnett, a junior at Sun Valley Village Christian, in D-5, and Jackson Adelman, a junior at Santa Margarita St. Margarets, in D-5. In addition, defending State champions Audrey Suarez, a junior at Mayfield, in D-4, and Anthony Grover, a Wake Forest-bound senior at JSerra, in D-4 (a two-time state champ), also cruised through Saturday's exercise.
