The Dons Cross Country team had their first League meet last week at Dos Pueblos. Senior Krista Dreschler crossed the finish line with a winning time of 18:26 in the girls varsity race. Senior Dominic Atkatz led the Dons on the varsity boys side with a time of 16:31 and a seventh place finish.
On Saturday the team participated in the Pepperdine Invitational at Pepperdine University in Malibu. The rain from earlier in the morning and the day before made a muddy course that met with disdain from falling runners.
Despite the poor conditions Dreschler placed second with a time of 19:28:47 in a varsity race with more than 100 participants. Atkatz topped the boys side for the Dons with a time of 18:07:13 and a 41st place overall in the varsity race.
The next race for the cross country team will be this afternoon at 2 p.m. at the College Park Invitational at College Park in Oxnard.
