Woah, nelly!  Just when we knew that Chaparral's girls would be much improved, we definately did not see their sophomore, Sierra Vega, emerging as this county's new superstar!!!  She ran the 2nd fastest time of the Laguna Hills Invitational in 17:52 and led her team to the 3rd fastest team time of the day!  The Southwestern League just got that much tougher!  Meanwhile, Vista Murrieta's boys rolled with the 2nd fastest team time of the day, led by David McDonald's 15:26!  Their 40 second gap between #2 and #7 is very impressive.  We'll include a more detailed summary as we move along...
