The Westmont cross country team’s season has come to an end, with many new, stunning athletes showing up every day to practice, giving their best effort, making memories to remember, and being a part of this family of runners. A great start to the season also ends sweet and memorable.
Senior Night took place on the dreadful and terrifying 2.74-mile course, Montgomery Hill, and as the name suggests, consists of large, rolling hills, with steep downhills. Many new personal bests were set throughout the meet, but most notably, our varsity senior boys: Anshul Dhaas, Shugo Fujikawa, Daniil Yakavets, Fion and Declan Clark, and Joshua Lam. Also, on the girls’ side, Hannah Crowley has been such an important athlete throughout her four years running varsity girls’ cross country. We will dearly miss our seniors leaving the Westmont family.
Moving on from Senior Night, the BVAL Championships were a great success, with, most strikingly, Shotaro Horibe running a 30-second personal best in the 2.95-mile rolling hills course in Belmont. The rest of the varsity team also ran decent races. Marking the end of the season, these accomplishments from BVALs and Senior Night wrap up a cross country season to remember for all of us. Go Warriors!
