Pictures, Pictures, Pictures!
This year's IEC produced some of the fastest racing we have ever seen. Santiago's Rylee Blades smoked the course logging in the fastest time ever recorded for the IEC! Her 16:02.7 bested the old record by over 50 seconds. Her teammate, Braelyn Combe, 2nd place, ran 17:12, a time that would have won 14 other IEC meets! Team wise, Santiago scored an unheard of 18 points to put their stamp as the best all-time Inland Empire Champions. Chino Hills, led by Alayna McGarry (10th), and Ayala, led by Lauren Villegas (5th) finished 2nd and 3rd place, 94 to 102.
Riverdside County Champion, Santiago with Shadow Hills, runner-up.
