Stevie Holguin led the nationally ranked women’s team to a runner-up finish, while Jackson Oliveira delivered the men’s best conference-meet result in nearly two decades. Natalie Arriaza and Kekaihulali Halpern also earned conference awards, and all four received All-CCAA honors.

What’s Next

Both teams compete at the NCAA Division II West Regional in Sacramento on Nov. 21. The men’s 10K starts at 9 a.m., followed by the women’s 6K at 10:15 a.m.; the national championship field will be announced Nov. 23.
