Last week the Ojai Valley School cross-country team ventured to the Thacher School to compete in its first event of the year, a 3-mile race.
OVS competed against seven other high schools in the Condor League – Thacher, Dunn, Midland, Cate, Besant, Laguna Blanca, and Providence Hall.
Seniors Tim Waian and Louis Medel lead the boys’ team, which placed fourth overall.
The girls’ team was led by sophomore Momoe Takamatsu and freshman Ally Feiss.
The meet was completed by every member of the cross-country team, including first-time runners Miles Munding-Becker, Shelly Xu, and Cole Zellner.
Coach Fred Alvarez said he was extremely proud of his team’s performances.
“We have some great leaders emerging on our squad,” Mr. Alvarez said. “I can’t wait to see how the rest of the season plays out.”
