CdM sweeps Mesa

Corona del Mar High’s cross country forces proved equal to the task

on a hot and dry Costa Mesa High course Thursday, the boys winning,

23-24, and the girls taking a 20-41 decision as both teams improved to

2-0 in the Pacific Coast League.

Irwin Salas of Costa Mesa ruled the roost with a 16:22 clocking, but

CdM went 2-3-4 to maintain a winning depth, right down to a nonscoring

17:38 for freshman John Salinas, who was 11th.

The 2-3-4 combination consisted of Dustin Hodges (16:30), Blake

Dillion (16:43) and Kevin Artz (16:49).

Julie Allen and Becky Cummins led CdM’s girls with a 1-2 finish in

19:23 and 19:28.

Corona’s only real problem came later with a transportation situation

making it a long afternoon for the Sea Kings.

Costa Mesa fell to 1-1 in boys competition, and the girls are 0-2.
