Eagles from page 5
Sophomore sensation Tyler Matlosz finished in
19:26, with a PR of more than 35 seconds. She
jumped to sixth on the school’s all-time list at
the state meet. Looking forward, Tyler Matlosz
looks to unseat her sister James on the
school’s all-time list and be one of leaders for
the next two years. Ami Jacobson had a big
performance to finish with a time of 20:07 and
was the team’s fourth scorer. Jacobson has been
a big contributor and has worked tirelessly to
become one of the biggest breakthrough athletes
in recent memory.
Isabella Mai, just a sophomore, had another
stellar performance rounding out the top five
scorers. With a time of 20:40, she found the
pace to get her team another memorable season
finish. Senior returnee Leah Guziak finished
with a 51-second PR to cap off a stellar career
as an Eagle. She has been a very dependable
and consistent runner and has worked hard to
become one of the top seven runners for the
Eagles. Rounding out the top seven was Erin
Rifkin despite fighting off a bad cold. She
ran an incredible race at the CIF finals and
scored fourth for the Eagles. She went out
and fought her way through the 5k course
with fierce determination. Despite being sick,
Rifkin managed to pull out a time of 21:05 to
put her inside the school’s top 20.
The girls team will return four of the seven
runners from state meet and 8 of the 11 from
the CIF roster. With no juniors on the varsity
roster, the program has a very bright future.
Eagles Reach Their Goal
Eagle head coach Marcos Bolanos wasn’t
worried where his team would finish at the
CIF Southern Section Final. The goal was to
finish high enough to qualify for a state finish.
Bolanos’ season-long progression plan was to
peak at state and that they did. They demolished
the old team time of 85:56 with a new team
time of 83:40. That previous mark was set
by the last state qualifying team in 2017. The
Eagles have had many teams run at Woodward
Park, through the Clovis Invitational and now
at the state meet twice.
Four-year legend Arend Verfaillie again
paced the Eagles with the second fastest time
in school history with a 16:07. Going into the
race, Verfaille had hoped to chase down a course
PR set by former standout Eagle Gavin Glynn,
but his 15:39 will stand. Verfaille finishes his
Eagle career as the fastest in school history for
a three-mile course. He shaved off 75 seconds
from his sophomore time in 2017 at the state
meet. He led by example this season and pushed
his teammates to be their best each day. “His
legacy will be felt for decades,” said Bolanos.
With a time of 16:26, Will Garrell continued
his dominance up front. He has continually
proven himself to be a fearless runner willing
to sacrifice himself for the good of the
team. Finishing third for the Eagles and setting
the school’s fourth fastest time on the
Woodward Course was Marcus Ortiz with a
time of 16:45. This was by far the best race
of his career and on the biggest stage. He was
a last-second sub for the Eagles when Lucky
Schwarz was too ill and forced to pull out
shortly before the start of the race. Ortiz’s
time beat the previous number two time set
by Garrett Rifkin in 2017.
Junior Cole Sterba and sophomore sensation
Ryu Iguchi battled each other for the fourth
and fifth spots throughout the race. Sterba finished
fourth with a time of 17:04 (the school’s
seventh all time) while Iguchi rounds out the
top five scorers with a time of 17:16 (number
nine all time).
Niall Glynn and Lukas Lux rounded out
the top seven of those who ran. Both seniors
were integral parts for the best season in
school history. Their leadership and grit helped
mold the team into a group of hard-working
runners. Jonny Felker, another alternate, was
also key to the team’s success this season and
was ready had Ortiz not run. Of the five varsity
races he competed in this year, he bettered his
time in four of those races.
The Eagles return four of the five scorers
and seven out of 12 from the varsity roster next
year. With so many returning and the depth of
the program, it sets up for another successful
run to a state meet appearance. Coach Bolanos
said, “I think the fire has been lit, and the boys
are going to continue feeding the flames with
more hard work during the track season to set
up for a historic 2020 season.”
The cross country program has come a long
way and continues to work towards individual
and team excellence. The athletes on this team
(past and present) have helped cultivate a culture
of excellence, where they start each year
with a simple question: “What do we need to
do to get to state?”
Eagle Basketball Dominates
The El Segundo High boys basketball team
improved to 5-1 overall heading into this week.
They defeated Verbum Dei 65-51 in game that
wasn’t as close as the final scored indicated. The
Eagles started the game by outscoring Verbum
Dei 16-0 and just kept the pressure on their
opponents throughout the contest. Verbum Dei’s
crowded gym did not intimidate the Eagles as
El Segundo held a 29-17 halftime lead.
CJ Hardy Taylor led all scorers with 24
points, five steals and three assists while George
Domyan had 15 points and dominated inside
play. Leo Cagan scored eight of his 13 points
in the first quarter. The game plan that the team
has bought into and the prep and execution
were the difference in the game. It appears
they are really starting to grow as a team with
lots of young players getting valuable minutes
that will pay off later in the season.
The Eagles will get a boost that should make
the team even better this week. Trevor Aubert
and James Pearson are back from injuries and
should help an already deep squad. •
Arend Verfaillie battles Calvin McCarthy of Sir Francis Drake HS
for position at the CIF State XC finals.
The Eagles finished 10th out of 25 teams at the CIF State XC championships.
ESUSD from page 5
El Segundo High School; and an agreement
with DS Repair to the tune of $7,900 for the
repair of a classroom damaged by a trash
disposal vehicle.
Moore noted that the funding for the initial
designs for the cafeteria renovation, which is
budgeted at $5,000, will come from dollars the
District recently reaped from allowing filming
companies to utilize the high school facility
during off-hours.
After Layne accepted financial gifts bestowed
upon the District, the Board approved the filing
of the positive certification for the first interim
report, and also myriad collective bargaining
items relating to the District and its agreements
with the El Segundo Teachers Association and
the California School Employees Association.
Moore then highlighted the upcoming
December calendar, which features multiple
school concerts in the run-up to the start of
winter break that begins after the final school
bell rings on Dec. 20.
In other District news, new El Segundo
Middle School Principal Adam Scott and new
Center Street School Assistant Principal Luke
Olesiuk have begun their tenures. Scott had
worked as an assistant principal at Cerritos
High School and Gahr High School for eight
years. “I am so honored to be the new principal
at El Segundo Middle School (ESMS),”
Wright emailed. “I have had the opportunity
to meet many of the students and the families
here and am looking forward to working with
all stakeholders to continue the great things
ESMS has to offer.”
Olesiuk is no stranger to the ESUSD. He
had taught mathematics at ESMS for 11 years
before leaving to work for the Redondo Beach
Unified School District for the past four years.
Emailed Olesiuk: “I could not have asked for a
better place to begin my career in administration
than back in El Segundo. I am thrilled to
once again to begin to be able to work with
the fantastic teachers, students and parents of
this great community, and I look forward to
continuing to support [Principal)]Dr. Monahan
and the rest of the Center Street family.”
The next regularly scheduled El Segundo
School Board meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m.
on Tuesday evening, Jan. 14. •
