 Boys 12U team the Jr. Flashes from Fillmore's own AYSO 242 advanced to playoffs in Ventura this last weekend. During the season, they were the team to beat. Solid defense strategy paired with amazing strikers kept this team at the top. Blanca Benson was the head coach, and her passion to stay competitive was essential. During the season on Saturday, you could also catch her refereeing several games with her assistant coaches. Our community is built on volunteers like this. This weekend the boys were 2-1 but unfortunately not enough points to advance further. What an awesome season for boys soccer and I can’t wait to see what they do next!

San Antonio College in Walnut to compete in the CIF Southern Section Division 4 Prelims meet. This meet is held over a 2.93-mile challenging course with three major climbs. The Varsity Boys were the first team to line up at the starting line for the Flashes. Eduardo Vigil was the lead runner for Fillmore as he has been all season with the exception of one meet.

Unfortunately, the Varsity Boys missed qualifying by one place in their heat, and 17 seconds over team time. As a result of Eddie’s 3rd place finish, he has qualified to compete as an individual in the CIF Division 4 Southern Section Finals. The Varsity Girls toed the line next. Nataly Vigil and Niza Laureano exchanged the lead for the first mile and a half. After the dust settled, Nataly finished in 4th place in a time of 19:29.8, Niza followed in 7th in a time of 19:29.8. Next to cross the finish was Diana Santa Rosa 21st in 21:12.4, followed by Leah Barragan 26th in 21:18.6, Jessica Orozco 28th in 21:20.6, Alexandra Martinez 56th in 23:44.6, and Joseline Orozco 78th in 26:36.3. In their heat, the Varsity Girls captured 2nd place and thus qualified for CIF Division 4 Southern Section Finals. The Fillmore Cross Country athletes will now prepare for the CIF Southern Section Division 4 Finals meet. This meet is also held at Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut on Saturday, November 18, 2023.
