Analysis: Last year consisted of remarkable memories of Sadie Engelhardt leading Ventura (CA).
This team finished second to Newbury Park at the CIF-SS Division Finals and fifth at the CIF Cross Country Championships.
Now as we enter the 2023 season, the Cougars may have added a special transfer. It's been reported that Tiffany Sax transferred from Newbury Park to Ventura.
By adding the ninth-place finish from the CIF Cross Country Championships to Ventura's gold and black, the Cougars have an opportunity to elevate their team.
As Ventura will return its entire squad from 2022 and potentially add Sax into the mix, this team can be a state title contender.
