"Malena returns for her sophomore campaign as one of the top two returners in Northern CA. With All-American performances in cross country and track her first year, she's right on the doorstep of really making a name for herself across the state this fall. With Norcals on her home course, Malena has a chance to become our first regional winner in 35 years!"
