During halftime of the football team between St. John Bosco and Servite on Friday night, the Braves’ boys’ cross-country team was recognized with an announcement that it had won the Trinity League championship earlier that day.

It was safe to say there was no sophomore jinx. Really. Four of the Braves’ top six runners are sophomores. They have stepped in nicely to fill a void left by the graduation of three of St. John Bosco’s top five from last year’s team that won the Southern Section Division II championship.

The Braves’ latest league title run was led by Mario Flores and Carlos Martinez, sophomores returning from last year’s team who finished third and fifth, respectively, in Friday’s meet at Central Park in Huntington Beach. These guys, it seems, don’t just set the pace. They’re setting a standard. And the Braves lived up to it.
