CCMS medalist included Lady Cats Estephany Becerra (6th overall) and Salma Gonzalez (8th) in the girls race. Bobcat Dawson Richard finished sixth on the boys side.
Remaining Lady Cats who helped achieve a second-place finish included Allison Hernandez (12th), Calli Wise (13th), Ryley Fields (22nd), Autumn Little (31st) and Morgan Palmieri (32nd).
Following Richard were teammates Rylan Haley (13th), Boston Teague (17th), Nelson Jacinto (23rd), Cameron Quinn (24th), Andrew Chastain (45th) and Jeremy Jacinto (53rd).
