Diaz Leal capped her outstanding career at Hartnell by placing 19th in a field of 164 at the CCCAA Championship on Nov. 17 in Fresno. That helped her team to a second-place statewide finish, its best ever. Her time of 19:05 over the 5k course at Woodward Park is the seventh best in program history.
