Woodside High School Athletes of the Week

Sport: Girls’ Cross Country Team

Coaches’ Lens (Head Coach-Pablo Aguilera):

“The Varsity Girls team of Kara Herson, Isabelle Couch, Isabella Schrammel, Isabel Espinoza, Taylor Matel, Tanin Barzanian, and Ava Ocon all ran some of their best times at the Crystal Springs Cross-Country course.

Despite being one of the youngest (if not youngest) Varsity teams (we had 2 juniors, 4 sophomores, and 1 freshman), they showed up well prepared and ran their best race together. These girls ran very close together and jumped many teams at the PAL Championships, to place 4th overall and qualify for CCS Championships as a team.

This 4th place finish is the highest team finish by a Woodside team since 2008.”

These athletes will be running as a team (along with individual qualifiers in the Boys’ division: Michael Mendelsohn and Tim Brown) this Saturday in Monterey at Toro Park – good luck Wildcats!
