Girls Varsity Final score – PV 34, MCHS 38, Redondo 49

Just 4 points separated the girls varsity team from 1^st place Palos Verdes at Thursday’s Bay League Finals.

Melia (Elizabeth) Chittenden lead the team with a 2^nd place finish overall at (18:58).  Her time tied the all-time 2^nd fastest time for MCHS on the PV course (with Abby Hong, who went on to run the Footlocker finals in 2013).  The only time faster was Savannah Pio, in 2010, who went on to be state champion.

But, we know that team wins take entire teams running amazing races and that’s what happened at Bay League – rounding out the varsity finishes were Alexis Johnson 4^th (19:40), Emily Jones 7^th (20:06), Brooke Inouye 12^th (20:24), Amanda Han 13^th (20:26), Ellie Lee- Morrow 22^nd (21:22), Jessie Gregson-Williams 23^rd (22:02)

Alexis Johnson’s time moves her to the #7 slot on the all-time MCHS list on the PV course.  Emily Jones had an amazing run as well, improving her time over Bay League 1 by 1:30 to move into the #3 spot on the varsity team!
