For the 1st time in almost 11 months, Capo Valley Cougars competed in an athletic competition!

Capo Girls Cross Country hosted the first competition among all sports on campus since March 11, 2020 as they hosted Tesoro.  The girls varsity team won a close race by a score of 27-30 with the 3 top runners Shannon Trueman, Kendra Beck & freshman Rachel Manning leading the way!  Another Freshman, Megan Beck, dominated the first race of the day winning the freshman level race easily.

The Boys team was away at Trabuco Hills and was victorious as well by the same score as the girls varsity team.  Four of the top six runners in the boys varsity race were Capo Cougars, with the Mordy brothers, Thomas & Brandon, leading the way along with Jack Stevens & Diego Vergara.

Congrats to both of our teams!  Both teams will compete at San Juan Hills HS on Saturday, Feb 20th.  Go Capo!!!

ALL-COUNTY GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY

Runner of the Year: Carly Corsinita

 

School: Capistrano Valley

Year: Senior

Notable: She finished fifth in the CIF-Southern Section Division 2 championships with a time of 17 minutes, 10.3 seconds, the fastest time of any Orange County girls runner in the CIF-SS Finals. … Corsinita was South Coast League champion. … She signed with Oregon.

Season recap: Corsinita was an outstanding runner all season, starting with her victory in the Division 2 race at the Laguna Hills Invitational in September.

But it wasn’t until December, at the Foot Locker West Regionals at Mt. SAC, that Corsinita felt like an outstanding runner.

“I went in there with a different mindset,” she said, “and I was able to keep up with girls I didn’t think I could keep up with.”

Competing in an elite field, Corsinita ran the 5K race in 17:10.2 and finished seventh.

That capped a great season for Corsinita, who is the Register’s Orange County girls cross country athlete of the year.

Her season was better than she expected. Corsinita rehabbed all summer from a painful foot injury.

“I bounced back by the Clovis Invitational with a strong performance (she finished 10th in the meet’s elite race at 17:49.9),” she said, “and I ran well at the Orange County Championships (finishing second to San Clemente standout Hana Catsimanes). I ran well on courses that I usually find difficult, the ones with hills and tough terrain, and I was happy with the way I handled those.”

Cross country is mostly an individual sport with some team aspects to it. For Corsinita, the team aspects were among the more enjoyable aspects of the 2019 season.

“Our team has never been closer,” she said. “We all spent so much time together and that helps us become more of a team and more unified.”
