Payton Godsey of Oaks Christian (SS) ran the fastest 5K time among girls in the Class of '25 with his title-winning performance at the CIF-State Championships.

Tessa Buswell of Poway (SD) was a CIF-State champion and also ran the second fastest 3-mile time in the class with her performance at Woodbridge.
