We go 1,000 runners deep in this merge of girls races at the Clovis Invitational on the 5K course at Woodward Park in Fresno.

The 3-mile time by La Costa Canyon's Gioana Lopizzo on the Galway Downs course to win the Temecula Twilight Sundown Showdown race is the fastest in CA the past two weekends.

It's early but we wanted to check out who among girls in the Class of 2024 has brought the goods on 5K courses in September.

Oaks Christian's Payton Godsey continues to lead the class on 3-mile cross country courses with Poway (SD) standout Tessa Buswell (pictured) sitting at No. 2.

Payton Godsey's record-setting performance at Woodbridge lands the Oaks Christian 2024 atop CA's 3-mile list.

We pulled the top 300 returning girls from schools in the Southern Section who had times on 3-mile courses last cross country season.

Check out which returning girls crushed 3-mile cross country courses in 2021.
