Perdices liked how the boys team worked off each other.
“Drew and Xan put in some big pulls on the first and second loops to drop the DP guys from their pack before Blaise stretched it out later in the race,” she said.
The times were slower than the previous two meets because runners had to deal with a muddy course. The course was pretty sloppy from the rain and hail earlier in the week, so the times don t necessarily show it. But these guys have learned a lot and made some big tactical improvements over the three meets they ve run,” said Perdices.

Yair Torres has chance to go down as one of Santa Maria’s greatest runners [Santa Maria Times, Calif.]
Feb. 11 Yair Torres has achieved a lot at Santa Maria High School.
He’s set school records and captured loads of individual and team accolades.
Now, he’s content with one more chance at adding to his already impressive resume.
Torres is embarking on his senior season with the Saints. He’s long been his school’s top cross country runner. Just last month though, Torres wasn’t sure if he’d ever get to run for the Saints again. He completed his junior cross country season in the fall of 2019 with an appearance in the CIF State meet, where he finished 35th in the Division 2 race. He was fifth at the CIF Central Section Division 2 meet leading up to that.
