Belmont Boys super tough (14th title in 17 years!);
fine girls individual struggle has Valerie Flores over Natalie Stein
Birmingham boys ran without transfer Ruben Ruiz from Chatsworth, who had been running
very strong lately. There was question about his living situation (relative instead
of guardian) and Coach Scott King of Birmingham held him out of the meet.
The question is how the Belmont peak will carry them through to the State Meet this
coming weekend in Fresno. Belmont’s title was their fourteenth in seventeen
years, quite a tradition!!! Girls winner Flores was second to Stein last year.
