Trabuco Hills Boys Cross Country
Our Boys Cross Country team capped off an incredible season with a standout performance at the CIF State Championships, racing to an impressive 6th place finish in Division 1! Entering the meet unranked inside the top 10, the boys rose to the challenge and delivered when it mattered most—surpassing multiple highly-rated teams from both Northern and Southern California.
Sophomore Dresden Taylor led the charge with a clutch performance, followed by gritty and determined efforts from Senior Sebastian Bello and Junior Lucan Clemons. Strong supporting races from Sebastian Palafox, Aedan Clarke, Logan Jones, and Ron Banchik sealed the team’s remarkable finish and showcased the depth of this talented squad.
A huge congratulations to the entire team for their heart, toughness, and unforgettable finish to the season!
