Cross country: Eagles, Sea Kings rule course

COSTA MESA - The Estancia High boys cross country team pulled off a

double-win Thursday, defeating Laguna Beach, 15-46, and rival Corona del

The Eagles (5-0), ranked No. 2 in CIF Southern Section Division IV,

with that program,” Sea Kings Coach Bill Sumner said. “Last year, they
