Finnish foreign exchange student Matias Vesma led the Taft High varsity boys with a fourth-place finish in 17:29, and Zander Hryczyk, Eli Jones, Angelo Cruz Garcia, Cooper Fitch and Brayan Mateo posted personal-best times Saturday in the Toledo XC Challenge.

Newcomer Joseph Cruz ran 23:15 in the boys JV race.

“Times today have situated our team in a great spot for Districts with Athletic.net giving our team a hypothetical first placing,” said Taft coach Eva Ahumada, whose Tigers placed third in the boys varsity 5,000-meter race.
