The Mira Costa High School girls and Palos Verdes High School boys varsity teams won their respective races Wednesday during the first cross country meet of the season for the Bay League.

A very tight race for the varsity girls ended with a tie-breaking decision in favor of the Lady Mustangs from Mira Costa, putting Redondo Union High School at a very close second.  

Just three points shy of the leaders was Palos Verdes.

Unlike the girls race, the Palos Verdes High School varsity boys won their race by a landslide, earning a perfect cross country score of 15 and leaving the competition far behind.

Palos Verdes Peninsula High School came in at a distant second with a score of 77 points, and West Torrance placed third with 82 points. 

The races were held on the new course at Redondo Union High School.
