It's Mt. SAC Cross-Country Invitational time again

LA Times Staff Reports

It may not be the forested trails of Eugene, Ore., but plenty of legends have been made at Mt. San Antonio College -- Southern California's very own cross-country holy land.

And the trails around the Walnut-based community college will once again come alive this weekend when many of the best high school teams in the state compete at the Mt. SAC Cross-Country Invitational. Here's a rundown of some of the teams and runners that should do well, provided they don't run out of steam on poop-out hill:

* Saugus girls' team: Even through Katie Dunn has hit the college trail, that hasn't stopped the Centurions from being among the most dominant teams in the nation. They're a sure thing to take home a third consecutive state Division II title, but can sophomore sensation Kaylin Mahoney and the rest of the Centurions topple the Mt. SAC course record they set last year?

*Jordan Hasay: It's not every day a high school runner competes in the U.S. Olympic trials, but Hasay did. The San Luis Obispo Mission Prep distance ace has pretty much won everything she has competed in at the high school level.
