FRESNO, Calif. (Nov. 22, 2025) – This morning on a perfect race Saturday, teams lined up at the California Community College Athletic Association (3C2A) Women's Cross Country State Championships. The Moorpark teams placed sixth in the state among the 23 teams competing in the 5k today.

Sanders and Beltran literally ran stride for stride, crossing the finish line separated by the absolute smallest of margins in times of 20:09.8 and 20.09.9, respectively.

Like their teammates, Kassi and Godinez also ran tightly throughout, finishing separated by less than two seconds. Kassi posted a time of 20:15.7 while Godinez crossed the line in 20:17.1.
