Girls cross country: CdM cross country loses standout

CORONA DEL MAR - Season Meservey, who helped the Corona del Mar

High girls cross country team win Pacific Coast League, CIF Southern

Section Division IV and CIF State Division IV titles last fall, confirmed

Thursday she will transfer to Santiago High in Corona for the upcoming

season.

Meservey, who transferred to CdM from Aliso Niguel before her

sophomore year, was a valuable member of Bill Sumner’s team last year.

She finished fifth at league finals, 13th at Southern Section finals and

11th at state finals. She was the second CdM runner to finish at league

and state finals and was the Sea Kings’ third-fastest competitor at the

section finals.

“I’m going to miss Coach Sumner and all the girls I have run with,”

said Meservey, who added she will be the lone senior at Santiago, which

she said has only been open for two years.

Meservey also said her younger sister Stacy, a sophomore, plans to run

at Santiago.

Stacy was a varsity basketball reserve last year at CdM and Season

played varsity basketball as a sophomore at CdM. Both plan to play

basketball at Santiago.
