Annie Wild wrapped up her decorated cross country career this past Saturday, placing 20th in Division IV during the 35th California Interscholastic Federation State Championships.

Joining her in Fresno was fellow Ripon High senior Julio Pelaez, who took 93rd out of 201 entrants in the Division IV boys race.

Making her third appearance at the state meet, Wild beat her previous best time on the 5,000-meter course at Woodward Park, clocking in at 18 minutes, 37.2 seconds. Spearheading the 201 competitors was Oaks Christian’s Payton Godsey in 17:00.1.

Wild finished as the Sac-Joaquin Section Division IV runner-up and repeated as Trans-Valley League champion.

Pelaez made a big improvement from last year to make the state meet for the first and only time. He finished in 17:07.4. Cathedral’s Emmanuel Perez won it in 15:05.4.

Other highlights: Oakdale’s boys team dominated en route to capturing the Division III championship, the Newbury Park boys captured their fourth straight CIF crown in Division II and were led by Lex Young’s impressive time of 14:28 — the new record Division II time and overall third fastest all-time from a male runner on the course.
