2018 Desert Pines Girls Track Capsule

DESERT PINES

Head coach: Lizbeth Aguilar, first season

Returning letter winners: Ten

Top athletes: Nayeli Perea (Jr.), Jazmin Felix (So.), Marshay Bradford (Jr.), Betzabet Eliazarraras (So.)

Outlook: Felix finished second and Perea seventh in the Class 3A state cross country meet in the fall. Together with Eliazarraras, they give the Jaguars a formidable group of distance runners to go along with Bradford in the sprints.

“The Jaguar girls have a strong foundation,” Aguilar said. “They are looking to build on that and have a productive season.”
