In recent cross country action, the Earwigs traveled to Midland for their second Condor League meet. Confident and well prepared, the girls and boys had "one of their best races" said coach Santos. Competing with Thacher, Midland,Cate,Ojai Valley, and Laguna, the number one girl runner for the Earwigs Senior Nikole Layton ran the course in 22:25 coming in 19th out of 30 total. For the boys, Niran Figueroa placed 33rd out of 120 runners with a time of 19:35.

This strong streak continued into the friendly meet against Midland at Dunn. Coach Santos stated "this was a successful friendly meet." Similar to the Condor League meet, Nikole Layton ran a 22:30 race placing 2nd out of 11 runners. For the boys, Figueroa and Danny Cullington ran a successful race. Figueroa placed 6th out of 29 and Cullington was close behind in 8th place. Figueroa ran in 19:24 while Cullington ran 20:25. "My time improved one minute from the first Condor League meet to the second. I'm hoping at Thatcher's Friendly meet I'll be able to get under twenty-two minutes" says Captain Layton. The running Earwigs have another meet Wednesday the 27th at Thacher.
