OK, so Palos Verdes freshman Rebecca Mehra won the rated race at the Woodbridge Invitaitonal in Irvine last Saturday, so she wasn't going to sneak up on anyone.

But that didn't make her performance at Thursday's opening Bay League meet any less impressive.

Mehra rallied past Redondo's Chloe Curtis and secured a second-place finish in 19 minutes, 46 seconds on the Palos Verdes course, 20 seconds behind Mira Costa's Savannah Pio. It was particularly impressive since Mehra said she is battling tendonitis in both her hips.

"My team put me at the front of the (starting) line because I won the rated race at Woodbridge, but I didn't know how I'd do," Mehra said. "It was pretty fun to race against fast people like Savannah and Chloe. I was really happy with how I did."
