THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES : Nancy Hunsaker

College: Irvine Valley

Sport: Cross-Country

Class: Freshman

When Hunsaker, 35 decided to start running, she had to consider the time it would keep her away from other important things in her life, such as her husband Brian and three daughters: Brittany, 8, Haley, 5, and Kylie, 2.

But with the cooperation of her family, Hunsaker is doing well this season. She is the top runner for Irvine Valley, which is one of the top two teams in Southern California along with Mt. San Antonio.

Hunsaker finished second overall Saturday, when Irvine Valley put three runners in the top seven to win the Moorpark Invitational.

She and her teammates next compete on Tuesday in the Orange Empire Conference finals at Irvine Regional Park.

Another top performer:

Laurie Wilson, who scored four goals and had two assists as Cypress won twice in women’s soccer. She had a goal and two assists in a 6-0 victory over Palomar and scored all three in the 3-1 victory over Orange Coast. Wilson, a sophomore from La Habra High School, has a team-high 17 goals this season.
