	Men Win League Championship Girls Second But Close Gap on Spartans

Titan Varsity Men Go 3-4-5 and Have Four in Top 10 to Win Rio Hondo League

The Titans came in the favorites after winning the first two league meets and did not disappoint by winning the League Finals Meet and League title over rival South Pasadena (which had taken the championship from the Titans last season). Senior Girish Balaji matched his course PR of 16:50 and took 3rd place in a photo finish with fellow Titan senior John Judge (4th, 16:50). Toma’s Liu shaved 16 seconds off his PR to come in 5th (16:56) and Charlie Perry also had a PR (17:30) for 10th place. Eric Lew (13th, 17:43) was the final scoring Titan. Cav Jue took 16 seconds off his PR (25th, 18:51) and Justin Castleman ran 18:58 (28th). South Pas is D3, but with La Canada dropping down from D3 to D4 this year, the Titans may face the Spartans once again at CIF Prelims.

Lady Titans Closed The Gap - Are Left To Ponder What Full Strength Team Could Achieve

Yes, there was much discussion after the Girls Varsity race among the Titan faithful about what could have been achieved this season were all team members at full strength. Even with traditional top two runner Sarah Linton (22:05, 21st) out of the scoring due to recent illness, the Harrigian sisters in only their fourth races of their injury-illness shortened season, and pre-season Varsity runner Sana Karimi out with injury, the Lady Titans closed the gap on the Spartans (rated top 10 in state CIF D4) to take 2nd in Rio Hondo League. Olivia Harrigian led the Titans with a 3rd place finish (19:38). Carlin Koch shaved 39 seconds off her Lacy PR and finished 6th (20:08) in a photo finish, and Fiona Harrigian took 18 seconds off her PR in placing 7th (20:32). Angela Wang came in 11th (20:57), and Kelly McCrary also took 18 seconds off her PR to clock 21:00 (12th). Cara Roberts, also coming off recent illness, was 24th in 23:13. The Lady Titans have one more week to get healthy before possibly facing the Spartans again at CIF Prelims on November 15.

Titans Have Top 10 Finishes (and a Champion) in JV and Frosh-Soph Races

Alexander Lai achieved the Titans’ lone individual league title in the JV Boys race. In doing so, Lai dropped an almost unbelievable 1:24 off his Lacy PR to clock 18:23 and made a case for a slot on Varsity for CIF. David Thi tied for 4th in 18:36, also a PR by 33 seconds. Mitchell Hee placed 11th (19:31) and Matt Kim took 21st (20:31).

In the Frosh-Soph Boys race, Grant Holt’s 7th place finish in 19:02 (PR by 58 seconds) was one of several significant PR performances by Freshmen. Other PRs included Jonathan (Yen) Chen 10th place finish (19:22 - 1:19 off previous PR), Tom Moffat’s 14th place (19:40 - 41 seconds off previous best), and Tim Wong’s 21st place finish (20:02 - 40 seconds off previous PR).

In the JV Girls race, Sharmayne Siu took 4th with a 22:33 PR and Alejandra Larriva-Latt also had a top 10 finish coming in 8th (23:22).
