The 76th Annual Mt. SAC Invite was held on Friday, Oct. 25 at Mt. San Antonio College. This year, the course was increased to 3 miles in length, with athletes running the last portion of the race on the track.
From the varsity boys’ team, sophomore Michael Scarince placed 11th in the Men’s Division 3, 4, and 5 Sweepstakes race with a time of 15:45. Senior Noah Aldana followed in 20th with a time of 16:06. Junior Dylan Shugg, senior Adam Ruiz, and senior Adam Elsayed rounded out the top five Tigers. Overall, the South Pasadena boys team came in second place behind Foothill Technology.
From the varsity girls’ team, senior Abigail Errington came in first place in the Women’s Division 3, 4, and 5 Sweepstakes race with a time of 16:57. Senior Saidbh Byrne came in fifth place with a time of 18:35. Seniors Sofia Humphrey, Maya Lee and Amelie Geoffron rounded out the top five Tigers. South Pasadena girls’ varsity ultimately won the race, beating out Cathedral Catholic by just one point.
“Our biggest rival, which is Cathedral Catholic…we actually beat them overall, which is super, super exciting. I’m really proud of our team, because I saw a lot of people race really, really well,” Humphrey said.
The Tigers are looking forward to the Rio Hondo League Finals at Lacy Park on Thursday, Nov. 7 and will likely come back to Mt. SAC on Nov. 15 for CIF Preliminaries.
