Ceres High cross country head coach Glenn Driskell announced the final results.

Bulldog runners screamed in unison, Woo-hoo!

Ceres High's varsity girls team routed crosstown Central Valley 15-50 on Wednesday at Ceres River Bluff Regional Park.

The Bulldogs (5-1) remained in a three-way tie for first place in the WAC dual-meet standings with Los Banos and Livingston.

Ceres High's Cecilia Carretero placed first against the Hawks.

She completed the 3.1-mile course in 22 minutes, 50 seconds.

Lisette Carretero (second, 23:09), Dia Borden (third, 23:20), Laura Espinoza (fourth, 25:56) and Jeanette Torrez (fifth, 26:07) also contributed to the team victory.

"It feels good to beat our rival," sophomore Lisette Carretero said. "We've been going harder at practice. We push each other a lot."

Central Valley's top finisher was Catrina Castillo (eighth, 27:16). Hawk teammates Laura Aguilar (10th, 27:48), Citlalli Soltero (11th, 28:49), Casandra Maldonado (13th, 28:53) and Alyssa Washburn (14th, 28:54) also scored points for the Hawks (1-5).

Ceres High's boys team moved to 3-3 in the WAC dual-meet standings following its 23-32 win over Central Valley last week.

The Hawks dropped to 1-5.

Ceres High junior Judas Chavarin took first (19:10)

Bulldog teammates Ryan Gustin (20:06), Brett Gonzalez (20:23), Kevin Ramirez (20:24) and Edgar Torres (20:56) placed third, fifth, sixth and eighth, respectively.

Sophomore Ben Saldana (second, 19:16) led Central Valley.

Hawk teammates Roberto Aguilar (20:23), Michael Collins (20:55), Nick Gonzalez (21:17) and Jose Bastidas (21:26) finished fourth, seventh, ninth and 10th, respectively.

"I am surprised," senior Brett Gonzalez said. "I didn't think we were going to beat them by so much. Our guys just pushed themselves. We're a lot better this year."
