HIGHLAND SPRINGS >> Even with two of its top runners out of action, the Middletown High School boys cross country team has enough depth to handle its North Central League I opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case in point was the Mustangs\u2019 team win on the 3.1-mile Highland Springs Reservoir course near Lakeport. Minus Ren Ueno and Isael Haro, Middletown topped the field with 40 points to Fort Bragg\u2019s 54. Willits was next with 70, St. Helena had 78 and Upper Lake 156. Clear Lake, Cloverdale, Kelseyville and Lower Lake were incomplete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy time five runners all finished 21 (minutes) or under,\u201d Middletown head coach Taylor Tiraterra said. \u201cTucker (West) ended up with just over 19 (19 minutes, 8 seconds).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

West finished third overall in the 49-runner field, placing behind race winner Johann Garcia (18:07) and runner-up Walker Aycock (18:21), both of Fort Bragg. Aycock set the early pace before Garcia passed him. His victory came with one shoe held together with a pre-race repair of glue and duct tape, which held long enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelseyville\u2019s Jace Pindell ran fourth in 19:14 while St. Helena\u2019s Charlie Watson was fifth in 19:36.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three other Middletown runners joined West in the top 10. Gabe Hisparo was seventh in 20:28, Kai Sooy came in eighth in 20:48, and Gerardo Rodriguez was 10th in 21:00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other top Lake County finishers were Kelseyville\u2019s Maverik Watson, 13th in 21:28, Middletown\u2019s Ethan Silva, 17th in 22:22, and Upper Lake\u2019s Ryker King, 21st in 23:08.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Girls<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlee Hill of Middletown ran away from the 35-runner girls field, crossing the finishing line in 20:56, exactly three minutes ahead of Cloverdale\u2019s Malia McGrath (23:56), who led the Eagles to the team win with 35 points to Middletown\u2019s 59. Willits came in third with 63 and Kelseyville was fourth with 65. All other teams were incomplete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amara Willner of Willits placed third (24:12), Fort Bragg\u2019s Dottie Palmer was fourth (24:48), and Lupita Cabrera of Middletown finished fifth (24:55).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aylin Aguilar led Kelseyville with a 10th-place finish of 26:44.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other top Lake County finishers were Madison May of Clear Lake, 14th in 28:46; Nick Lopez of Middletown, 16th in 29:33; Kelseyville\u2019s Sophia Chishom, 18th in 30:38; and Kelseyville\u2019s Aubrey Wiser, 19th in 30:53.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
