Sports Update - December
Further accolades for Gunn sophomore Sarah Robinson. After lowering her PR by a stunning 1 minute and 16 seconds to win SCVAL, she then dropped another 20 seconds to win CCS. Sarah took 3rd place at state and followed that with a 4th place finish at the most prestigious race "Foot Locker West Regional". Robinson beat some of the fastest milers in the state
at the Foot Locker race, runners such as defending state champion Cami Chapus. Sarah's success is all the more remarkable considering that she's only a sophomore and soccer remains her main sport. Sarah qualified for
Cross country nationals but couldn't compete due to previous commitments to
the US national U-17 soccer team. Robinson was announced today the SJ Mercury X-Country runner of the year!!
