Congratulations to last week's top vote-getter, Kamryn Grossman of Valencia (SS)!!

Grossman was the fastest girl on the course at the Rosemead XC Invitational, running the 3-mile campus course in 17:53.00 to win the Senior Girls Division race.

Kamryn received 59 percent of the votes in a statewide poll. Ashlyn Boothby, a junior from Scotts Valley (CC), was second in the voting.

Each week we will put seven athletes on the line and leave it up to you to select the overall XC Runner of the Week. Our objective each week will be to select top performers from across the state. Some weeks, like this past weekend, top invitationals may warrant multiple representatives in our top seven Runner of the Week choices.

Be sure to vote in the MileSplit Picks window below the candidate list.
