Oakmont freshman will run Saturday in national race
Oakmont freshman Karlie Garcia will compete in Saturday's Foot Locker Cross Country Championships in San Diego.
The 4-foot-9 dynamo qualified by placing third at the Foot Locker Western Regional last Saturday at Mount San Antonio College in Walnut. Garcia ran the 3.1-mile course in 18 minutes, 2 seconds.
Garcia placed behind junior Molly Grabill of Rancho Bernardo of Poway (17:55) and senior Megan Morgan of Torrey Pines of San Diego (17:59).
Garcia was the only freshman to qualify among the top 10 girls finishers. She won the Sac-Joaquin Section Division II championship Nov. 14 in Folsom and finished fourth in her division and 12th overall at the California Interscholastic Federation state finals Nov. 28 in Fresno.
She was the only freshman to finish in the top 36 at the state finals.
• Oak Ridge's Amjed Aboukhadijeh placed third with a time of 16:49 in the Foot Locker West Regional Senior boys race.

Hawkins, who played basketball last season at Bella Vista, had been listed as a player who would contribute to Antelope's fortunes in The Bee's Dec. 3 high school basketball preview.

• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.
