Share

Agoura High staked its claim as the state’s premier girls’ team once again, and Thousand Oaks ended Newhall Hart’s reign as boys’ champion Saturday in the Southern Section cross-country championships at Mt. San Antonio College.

Agoura, two-time defending state champion, beat Rolling Hills Estates Peninsula, 42-56, for the Division I title to avenge two regular-season losses.

Sophomore Amy Skieresz paced the Chargers to their sixth consecutive section title with a winning effort of 17 minutes 24 seconds over the three-mile course.

The top four teams in each of the four divisions, and the top five individuals not on a qualifying team, advanced to next Saturday’s state championships in Fresno.

Thousand Oaks ended Hart’s run of section titles at three with an easy 53-104 victory.
