Sea Kings win PCL dual meet crown

IRVINE - The Corona del Mar High boys and girls cross country teams

completed unbeaten Pacific Coast League dual-meet seasons by topping

University, as well as Costa Mesa, in a double dual meet Tuesday at Mason

Park.

Travis Beardslee won the boys race in 15:12, finishing ahead of CdM

teammate Josh Yelsey (15:34). Sea Kings Jud Heitbrink (fourth in 16:27)

and Blake Dillion (16:31) also cracked the top five as Coach Bill

Sumner’s squad placed seven boys in the top 10.

CdM defeated Uni, 19-42 and topped Mesa, 15-50.

Katie Quinlan finished second in the girls race (17:57), Liz Morse was

third (18:01) and Jenny Cummins fourth (18:03) to pace CdM, which topped

Uni, 22-36, and Mesa, 15-50.

“Uni didn’t run poorly, but we’re just hotter than pancakes right now,”

said Sumner, who will attempt to finish off the boys and girls first PCL

titles at league finals, Nov. 5 at Irvine Park.
