Estancia boys win, girls split

ORANGE - Estancia High freshman Humberto Rojas won the boys race to

lead the Eagles to a 24-33 Pacific Coast League boys cross country

victory over Laguna Beach Thursday at Irvine Park.

The Estancia girls split their PCL double dual meet, topping Laguna

Beach, 21-34, but falling to Northwood, 20-36.

Rojas completed the three-mile course in 16:40, 17 seconds faster than

his nearest competitor. Mike Casillas (17:14), Danny Vargas (17:28) and

Luis Segoviano (17:30) were fourth-sixth, respectively for the Eagles,

who improved to 3-1 heading into the Nov. 5 league finals at the same

venue.

Estancia junior Liz Huipe (second in 19:49) was the top finisher for the

girls, but Coach Charlie Appell credited senior Katelyn Aronson (13th in

22:37) for holding off several runners to help the Eagles defeat the

Artists. The Eagles’ girls are 2-3 in league.

Northwood, which opened this fall, does not yet compete at the boys

varsity level.
