10/14 Veteran’s Memorial Park Coronado Cross Country

The Coronado Cross Country team is ramping up all gears to make it to regionals to go compete in the 5A division of state championships. At Veteran’s Memorial Park, against all odds stacked against them, at the Henderson Championships, the Cougars won both the men’s and women’s races for this meet. 

The Coronado Cougars are prepared for regionals since this course is tough due to the grass pulling down on the joints. This specific meet had windy weather, which brought a new challenge for the Cougars to take on.

Enaara Etyemezian, a 10th grader on the team says, “Weather truly impacts how I perform. The Henderson City Championships had a crazy but cool wind.”   

Despite the challenge, the team won both the men’s and women’s races regardless. This race was the second-to-last race for the junior varsity team and is a step closer to regionals as well as state. 

“I’m going to miss this season so much. I love all my teammates; they’re a super sweet and motivating community,” Etyemezian mentions.

The Coronado Cross Country 2025 season won’t last forever. On Saturday, October 18th, the Cougars’ JV finished their season with one last race at cornerstone park starting at 6, and varsity will continue toward regionals. Don’t miss out on watching them run!
