“We not only ran against some of the top teams in California, but we had top teams from other states in our race,” Bell-Jeff Coach Mike Morgan said. “It was a very competitive race.

“I would have liked for us to finish a little better, maybe in the top six, but to do as well as we did without Gaby is great.”

Gaby Gonzalez is the defending Santa Fe League individual champion.
