El Camino's Skefich Captures First, Mt. SAC Wins 5th SCC Women's Cross Country Title In A Row
Complete 2025 SCC Cross Country Results
El Camino College freshman Jadeyn Skefich was the class of the 53-runner field as she grabbed the individual women's championship while host Mt. San Antonio won its fifth straight team crown at the 2025 South Coast Conference Cross Country Championships held Friday.
Skefich crossed the finish line in the 3-mile race in a time of 18 minutes, 32.1 seconds over the Mt. SAC 3-mile course. The Mounties were paced by second-place Katie Reyes (18:57.4) and third-place Casey McConn (18:58.2). This is Mt. SAC's 23rd South Coast title, the first happening in 1981.
Skefich is the first Warriors runner to win a SCC title this century and first since Jasmine Hall won in 1998 (edited with new information, 11/2). Different colleges have been represented individually for first place in each of the last three years.
In the 7-team race, Mt. San Antonio scored four of the top eight places and 35 team points as Long Beach City, led by Itzel Aguilar in fifth (19:12.2), placed second (90) with both Cerritos (91, third) and LA Harbor (93, fourth) in hot pursuit.
All seven South Coast colleges participating placed a runner in the top 16 including LA Harbor's Keona Mataali in fourth, East Los Angeles' Xitlali Gomez in ninth, Cerritos' Esther Gonzalez in 13th, and Pasadena City's Camila Gonzalez in 16th.
Reyes and Mataali each became All-SCC First Team finishers for the second year in a row. Reyes placed fourth and Mataali seventh at the 2024 conference meet.
Prior to the current Mt. SAC run, LA Harbor was the last school to win the team first-place trophy in 2019.
