    The Burroughs High boys’ and girls’ cross country teams haven’t been on everyone’s radar this season as they have not appeared in the CIF Southern Section rankings.

    But the Bears put together a fine regular season finale Thursday in the Pacific League Finals at Crescenta Valley Park.

    The boys’ varsity team finished second behind league champion Crescenta Valley, and the girls’ team finished third behind the Falcons and Arcadia highs.

    In the boys’ varsity competition, Burroughs had four finishers in the top 10. Unfortunately, Crescenta Valley had the first five, winning with 15 points. Burroughs had 47 points. Burbank High was sixth with 156 points.

    Liam Ellingsworth finished sixth overall in 16 minutes, 18.9 seconds over the 3-mile course.

    Nathan Marca followed Ellingsworth, taking seventh in 16:28.2.

    Henry Bullock (ninth, 16:45.2) and Danny Patino (10th, 16:46.1) both picked up second-team all-league honors.

    Burbank’s top finisher was Estaban Perez, who finished 17th in 17:33.9.

    Crescenta Valley won the girls’ varsity competition by scoring 35 points. Arcadia was second with 46 points. Burroughs finished with 49. Burbank finished seventh with 171.

    Saida Getz of Burroughs finished second in 18:59.7. Teammate Bailey Delgado finished eighth in 20:06.4.

    Burbank High’s top finisher was Lola Sickler, who took 23rd in 23:07.6.

  • Season Preview: Burroughs Cross Country Looking Strong Again

    [ad_1]

    A solid consistent program is what the Burroughs High boys’ and girls’ teams have become under veteran coach John Peebles.

    Although it won’t be easy, both teams could challenge for a spot in the state finals in Fresno this season.

    The girls’ team has never been to Fresno, but did qualify for the CIF Finals a year ago and have a solid and deep group.

    Senior Saida Getz is a returning first-team All-Pacific League runner who finished in the top 30 at the CIF Southern Section Division 2 finals a year ago.

    Fellow seniors Amy Harkins and Valorie Shaby are two more experienced varsity runners, as is junior Nightingale Kirwan.

    Sophomores Elisha Hill, Paula Mejia and Embrie Stephenson all ran in the CIF Finals as freshmen. Sophomore Teresa Solano is another with varsity level ability.

    Freshman Baily Delgado has looked very strong in the early going and should figure to be in the mix.

    “The depth on the girls side is solid and I am excited to see who, through hard work, will emerge as our top seven by year’s end,” said Peebles, who coached the Burroughs boys team to a CIF Division 1 title in 2014.

    The Burroughs boys’ team is led by the veteran 1-2 punch of Liam Ellingsworth and Nathan Marca. Both have gone under 10 minutes in the 3,200 in track and should have solid seasons.

    Junior Danny Patino and senior Nico Radlein give Burroughs four returners that were second-team all-league picks a year ago.

    Junior Henry Bullock and sophomores Derek Galustians and Bazeel Noguera have shown steady growth over the summer.

    “Liam and Nathan have put in work this summer and are ready for strong step up performances this year, so hopefully the rest of the boys will feed off of that,” Peebles said.
