THE ROSTER

FOR THE 2025–2026 SEASON.

CLICK HERE TO MEET THE COACHES

HAYDEN WASHINGTON HAYDEN WASHINGTON

FROM VALENCIA, CALIFORNIA.

HAYDEN IS A SENIOR AND THE

CAPTAIN OF OUR TEAM.

SHE’S A TRUE WEST COAST BADDIE, AND SHE’S BEEN DOMINATING OUT HERE SINCE DAY ONE. AS OUR TOP SCORER AND A LONG-DISTANCE GIRLY THROUGH AND THROUGH, HAYDEN LEADS NOT JUST WITH RESULTS, BUT WITH POISE. HER CALM AND COLLECTED PRESENCE BRINGS STABILITY TO OUR TEAM, AND IT’S THAT

QUIET STRENGTH THAT HAS CARRIED US THROUGH SOME OF OUR BIGGEST MOMENTS DURING THE SEASON.

IF THERE’S ONE THING ABOUT HAYDEN,

IT’S THAT SHE DOES NOT LIKE TO LOSE.

HER FIERCE, FOCUSED ENERGY BEFORE A RACE (ESPECIALLY IF THE HEADPHONES ARE ON) MEANS ONLY ONE THING:

SHE’S ABOUT TO POP OFF.

BUT IT’S NOT JUST

HER GRIT THAT MAKES HER SUCH A STRONG LEADER.

HER LOYALTY HAS KEPT THE PASSION OF THIS TEAM STRONG. SHE HAS HAD THE HEART OF A LION SINCE HER FIRST DAY HERE, AND SHE HAS PROVEN AGAIN AND AGAIN THAT

OUR LITTLE PACK IS MIGHTY.

OFF THE TRACK, SHE’S JUST AS IMPRESSIVE.

HAYDEN IS A HARDWORKING BIOLOGY MAJOR SOMEHOW BALANCING ONE OF THE TOUGHEST MAJORS WITH RUNNING AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL.

IS IT RAW TALENT? ABSOLUTELY.

BUT WHAT REALLY FUELS HER IS DRIVE.

HAYDEN HAS ONLY LEVELED UP EVERY YEAR. EVEN THOUGH THIS MIGHT BE HER LAST LAP WITH THE PACK, THE MARK SHE’S LEFT IS PERMANENT. HER CALM, FOCUSED, AND FIERCE ENERGY SHAPES ALL OF US. SHE REMINDS US WHAT IT MEANS TO BE IN THIS

TOGETHER.

RYLEE GUINN RYLEE GUINN

FROM BRENTWOOD, CALIFORNIA.

DON’T LET THE CUTENESS FOOL YOU...

RYLEE RUNS WITH SILENT STRENGTH. SHE DOESN’T NEED TO BE LOUD TO BE POWERFUL. ONE OF OUR TOP RUNNERS, SHE LEADS BY EXAMPLE, SHOWING UP WITH QUIET DETERMINATION AND UNMATCHED FOCUS.

WHEN RYLEE IS ON THE LINE,

YOU KNOW SHE MEANS BUSINESS.

OFF THE COURSE, SHE’S THE TEAM HAIRDRESSER AND OUR GO–TO BRAIDER.

WHAT CAN WE SAY?

SHE’S A BUSINESSWOMAN...LITERALLY.

MAJORING IN BUSINESS MANAGEMENT,NO HAIRSTYLE IS TOO BOLD FOR HER.
THE CRAZIER THE BETTER.SHE PUTS THE BLING IN OUR PACK, REMINDING US THAT

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A BAD RACE WHEN WE’RE ALL

SNATCHED UP.

HER BELIEF? THE BETTER THE HAIR, THE STRONGER THE CONFIDENCE.

SHE MAY MAKE RACING LOOK EASY WITH HER FLUID STRIDE, BUT THE TRUTH IS, THIS SPORT TAKES WORK. AFTER BATTLING A HIP INJURY LAST YEAR, SHE MADE A STUNNING COMEBACK THAT TURNED HEADS. SINCE THEN, SHE'S BEEN DOMINATING WORKOUTS AND RACES ALIKE.

HER JOURNEY IS ONLY GETTING STARTED. WITH HER GRIT, PATIENCE, AND SKY-HIGH POTENTIAL, WE KNOW ONE THING FOR SURE: RYLEE IS HERE TO MAKE A STATEMENT.

RUBY TIBURCIO RUBY TIBURCIO

FROM MANHATTAN, NEW YORK.

RUBY IS A JUNIOR AND ONE OF THE MOST QUIETLY POWERFUL RUNNERS ON OUR SQUAD. THERE ARE ONLY THREE WORDS TO DESCRIBE HER:

CONSISTENT, DRIVEN, AND INCREDIBLY GROUNDED.

SHE IS SOMEONE YOU CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON
TO SHOW UP AND DELIVER.

SHE CARRIES THE HEART OF NEW YORK CITY WITH HER, EVEN OUT HERE ON THE WEST COAST. CALM AND COOL ON THE SURFACE, BUT WHEN THE GUN GOES OFF? RUBY RACES WITH FIRE AND HEART.

RUBY IS THE ONE WHO

REMINDS US WHY WE STARTED RUNNING IN THE FIRST PLACE.

SHE RARELY GETS CAUGHT UP IN THE PRESSURE OR THE HYPE. SHE RUNS BECAUSE SHE GENUINELY LOVES IT. IT’S HER WAY OF STAYING GROUNDED

WHEN EVERYTHING FEELS OVERWHELMING.

RUNNING IS

HER RESET BUTTON, HER RHYTHM, HER CONSTANT.

AND THIS PAST SEASON? HER LOVE FOR THE SPORT TRULY SHOWED.

SHE WAS ONE OF THE MOST CONSISTENT ATHLETES ON THE TEAM, DROPPING PRS LEFT AND RIGHT.

OFF THE TRACK, RUBY IS A TOTAL BUSINESS BADDIE. SHE IS AN ACCOUNTING MAJOR, AND

HER ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND ORGANIZATION ARE UNMATCHED.

AND LETS BE REAL –

IT IS NO SURPRISE THAT SOMEONE WHO CAN BALANCE COMPLEX SPREADSHEETS CAN ALSO PACE HERSELF TO PERFECTION.

SHE BRINGS THAT SAME PRECISION AND STRATEGY
INTO WORKOUTS AND RACES.

FUTURE CPA? WE SEE IT.

ALSO...LET’S TALK ABOUT THE HAIR. RUBY’S CURLS ARE FLAWLESS. SHE IS ALWAYS EFFORTLESSLY ICONIC.

HER STYLE, HER STRENGTH, HER ENERGY–

IT’S ALL SO UNIQUELY RUBY.

EVERYDAY SHE FALLS A LITTLE MORE IN LOVE WITH THIS SPORT. SHE INSPIRES US ALL TO

SHOW UP WITH INTENTION, TO TRUST THE PROCESS,
TO SPEAK UP WHEN SOMETHING ISNT RIGHT,
AND TO KEEP SHOWING UP WITH LOVE.

WE ARE SO LUCKY TO CALL HER OURS.

AYDEN BROWN AYDEN BROWN

FROM LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANNA.

AYDEN IS A JUNIOR, WHO SERVES AS THE SPEEDSSTER OF THE TEAM (NO, LITERALLY). SHE IS OUR 800 METER BADDIE. SHE IS TOO GOOD FOR CROSS COUNTRY, AS SHE NWO FOCUSES ON JUST TRACK. BUT OVER THE PAST COUPLE YEARS SHE HAS REPREENTED US IN CORSS COUNTRY. SHE IS A INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS MAJOR, AS SHE IS AN ACADEMIC WEAPON, ALWAYS BECOMING ONE OF OUR TEAMS HIGHEST GPA. ayden brings the power to our team, guiding us through speedy wrokouts while cheering us on the course. but when its her time to shine during track, she does not dissapoint. she proves that consistenty and strength can be so good in the longrun, as all of her commitment and training in teh fall lead her to big prs in teh spring track season. she continues to stay very involved with our team. she is our hype woman in the cycle room, and a beast in the strngth room. yes, ayden is fierce adn may present scary, but she got a soft spot like all of us.

tessa is our little secret weapon on our team. she is a junior. tessa impresses us every single year, coming into a season gettign a littel faster everytime. from the start we knew she has immense talent.

katie is a senior, and our cutie pie on teh team. if you mess with katie, you mess with all of us. katie is the msot down to earth person you will meet and maeks our team environemnt very fun and chill. during times of pressure and nervousness, we all need katie to make situations a littel less scary. katie shows up to every meet and race badazzled up, creating a fun and confident environemtn to be in. she makes our high level sport more fun and entertaining. but one thing about katie, is that she has a secret ingregient. that ingrediant is coffee. if you know katie, you know she can not live without coffee. all her races and training, she has coffee in her veins. she will always be down for coffee, no matter the time of day, so dont be afriad to ask. and dont worry, she will chat. katie is a amrketing major.

ava is a junior, and our sweet heart. with her rookie season last year, she blew all of our minds. ava may not have grown up around cross country, but joining the team with an open mindset, she didnt need to prove how talented she is and her love for the sport. she adapted to new environemnts and changes so quickly. now it might be teh colorado native in her veins that makes her sp speedy, but her energy is so uniquely her. when is ava not smiling? maybe only at the last 200 meters of a race. ava is nto afraid to push past her limits for this team. she is competitive, she sets high goals for herself, but we remind her that she has proven way mroe than enough that she belongs. we all love her to death. she is a jounalism major with screenwriting minor.

A NEW SET OF BOMBSHELLS JUST ENTERED THE ROSTER...

No pics or bios yet – but stay tuned, because they’re about to make their debut.
