Division III Empire Girls at State

Maria Carrillo girls are making an amazing 7th straight trip to the state meet.
Montgomery’s Leah Haley will join them as a individual qualifier moving on to Fresno.
Division III race is at 12:35 pm Saturday.
At the Clovis Invitational earlier this year, run on the same course as state, this 2017 Puma team ran the third fastest time in school history behind only their 2004 team that placed 2nd at state in division II and their 2008 team that placed 3rd in division III.
Last years team placed 14th lead by Aimee Armstrong’s 44th place finish.
In October this years team was ranked 5th in state.
NCS Champion Gillian Wagner of Redwood may be the favorite to win state.

This year’s team, at the North Coast Section Finals, were lead by three top 15 finishers as Sydnie Rivas (5th-18:03), Aimee Armstong (8th-18:31) and Nicole Morris (13th-18:51) powered the team to a second place finish behind Campolindo, a team expected to battle La Costa Canyon for the state team title, and the Puma’s looking like a definite top ten team.

State meet history by year

Maria Carrillo senior Sydnie Rivas is making her fourth trip to Fresno. The last three years she has been one of the Puma’s top five scoring runners at state all three years.
This year she is currently leading the team having won the North Bay League Championships and was 5th at NCS.

Aimee Armstrong is a junior and has lead the Puma’s in pretty much every race this year that Rivas has not.
Last year at state she was the fastest Empire runner behind the Bowen sisters and Gabrielle Peterson and her freshman season she was one of the Puma’s five scoring runners at state as well.

Freshman Nicole Morris is the newest star in the area. She helped Carrillo to sweep the top three spots in the NBL and had the seventh fastest time in all the Empire at NCS.

Montgomery junior Leah Haley earned her way to state the hard way as an individual. Her strong run to grab the last state berth at NCS showed she will not only be one to watch at state but in 2018 as well.

I have not been able to confirm yet Carrillo’s seven entries into state but at NCS they went with juniors Talia Leano (3rd trip to state) and Meghan Field (2nd trip to state) plus sophomores Jasmin Hirth and Avery Damron. This is a strong group of runners who anyone of them would be the number one runner on most teams in the Redwood Empire.
