Looking Ahead: The Serra Jamboree serves as an early-season benchmark for Peninsula-area cross country programs. With these strong early performances, the 2025 season promises exciting competition as teams build toward the Central Coast Section Championships later this fall.
The historic Crystal Springs Cross Country Course, with its challenging 2.95-mile layout, provided the perfect venue for what many consider the unofficial start of the Peninsula cross country season. Course records dating back to the 1970s serve as inspiration for today's athletes to chase excellence.
