Coach Ron Perez said, “Alysa has led the Lady Yellowjackets all season long. She has placed no worse than 7th in five races thus far and has individual victories at Rim of the World and Cluster Meet #1 at Summit. She has also earned an individual medal in each of the Invitational’s she has competed in. In my opinion, Alysa will be hard to beat at the Sunkist League Finals on October 24th.”
