THE ROSTER  THE ROSTER
FOR THE 2025–2026 SEASON.














 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 TURN HEADS. ONE OF OUR TOP RUNNERS, RYLEE LEADS BY EXAMPLE,  SHOWING UP EVERY DAY WITH QUIET DETERMINATION AND THE KIND OF FINISHING KICK THAT MAKES THE REST OF US DO A DOUBLE TAKE.


SHE RUNS SMOOTH, SMART, AND STRONG, 
AND SOMEHOW MAKES IT ALL LOOK EFFORTLESS.
 
WHEN RYLEE’S ON THE LINE, 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, 
SHE’S QUITE LITERALLY RUNNING THE SHOW.


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 YOU SHOW UP SNATCHED. 


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


OFF THE TRACK, SHE IS A COUNTRY GIRL FOR SURE. IF COWBOY BOOTS COULD BE TURNED INTO SPIKES, RYLEE WOULD ALREADY HAVE A SPONSORSHIP DEAL LINED UP. 

AND WHILE HER TALENT IS UNDENIABLE,
WHAT TRULY FUELS RYLEE IS HER UNWAVERING SUPPORT SYSTEM.


HER FAMILY SHOWS UP TO ALMOST EVERY RACE, ALWAYS THE LOUDEST ONES CHEERING. 
HER TEAMMATES? WE ARE HER BIGGEST FANS,
HYPE SQUAD, AND GLAM CREW ALL IN ONE.
AND LET’S NOT FORGET 
THE MOST IMPORTANT CHEERLEADERS OF ALL...HER DOGS.


LATELY, RYLEE’S BEEN LOCKED IN.
SHE’S BEEN SHOWING UP, PUTTING IN THE WORK, AND STAYING CONSISTENT IN A WAY THAT MAKES US ALL PROUD. 
HER CONFIDENCE IS GROWING, AND
WE CAN FEEL SOMETHING BIG COMING.
 SHE'S NOT JUST RACING FOR HERSELF, 
SHE’S RACING FOR EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES IN HER 
AND SHOWS UP FOR HER.


BECAUSE IF THERE’S ONE THING WE KNOW ABOUT RYLEE,
IT’S THAT SHE’S HERE TO MAKE A STATEMENT.




 AYDEN BROWN  AYDEN BROWN

FROM LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANNA.




AYDEN IS A SENIOR, OUR RESIDENT 800-METER BADDIE,
AND QUITE LITERALLY THE SPEEDSTER OF THE SQUAD.


SHE MAY BE "JUST A TRACK GIRL" THESE DAYS, BUT DON’T GET IT TWISTED, AYDEN STILL PLAYS A HUGE ROLE ON OUR CROSS COUNTRY TEAM.

 FROM LEADING THE CHARGE IN WORKOUTS
TO YELLING THE LOUDEST ON THE SIDELINES,  SHE SHOWS UP FOR US IN ALL THE WAYS THAT MATTER.


WITH HER INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS MAJOR AND ONE OF THE HIGHEST GPAS ON THE TEAM, SHE’S NOT JUST FAST, SHE’S AN ACADEMIC WEAPON TOO. 
SPEED, SMARTS, AND STRENGTH? YEAH, SHE’S GOT IT ALL.


WHETHER IT’S CYCLE ROOM CHAOS OR STRENGTH ROOM DOMINATION,
 AYDEN BRINGS POWER AND HYPE TO OUR TEAM.


SHE KEEPS US GROUNDED WITH HER PRESENCE,
 AND IN RETURN,
 WE KEEP HER GROUNDED TO REMIND HER
JUST HOW MUCH SHE MEANS TO US.

EVEN WHEN TRACK SEASON IS FAR AWAY,
SHE’S ALWAYS WORKING, ALWAYS SHOWING UP, ALWAYS LEADING,
 EVEN WHEN SHE DOESN’T REALIZE IT.


WE ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE HER IN HER FINAL YEAR,

BECAUSE NO MATTER WHAT TIME OF YEAR IT IS, WHEN AYDEN’S AROUND, GOOD THINGS ARE COMING. 
TRACK MAY BE HER TIME TO SHINE,  BUT SHE’S ALREADY LIGHTING UP OUR TEAM EVERY SINGLE DAY.





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.


  KATIE POWER  KATIE POWER
FROM MYSTIC, CONNECTICUT.



KATIE IS A SENIOR, AND OUR TEAM’S CERTIFIED CUTIE PIE.
 
IF YOU MESS WITH KATIE, YOU MESS WITH ALL OF US.
SHE’S THE GLUE THAT HOLDS OUR GOOD VIBES TOGETHER,
 THE CALM IN OUR PRE-RACE CHAOS, 
AND THE QUEEN OF KEEPING IT REAL (AND FUN) AT ALL TIMES.


WHEN NERVES ARE HIGH, 
KATIE’S THE ONE CRACKING A JOKE OR GIVING A REASSURING LOOK THAT SOMEHOW MAKES IT ALL FEEL OKAY.
 

SHE BRINGS A LIGHTNESS TO THE SPORT THAT WE ALL NEED, 
REMINDING US THAT WE CAN COMPETE HARD AND STILL LAUGH THROUGH IT ALL.
 

AND SHE ALWAYS SHOWS UP BEDAZZLED, RACE-READY, AND GLOWING WITH CONFIDENCE, MAKING OUR SPORT FEEL MORE LIKE A CELEBRATION.

NOW LET’S TALK ABOUT HER SUPERPOWER: COFFEE.
KATIE RUNS ON PURE CAFFEINE.
COFFEE IS IN HER VEINS, HER HEART,
AND PROBABLY HER SPLIT TIMES.
MORNING, NOON, OR NIGHT, IF YOU NEED A CAFFEINE BUDDY,
 KATIE IS YOUR GIRL.
AND YES, SHE’LL CHAT WITH YOU ABOUT ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING, 
BECAUSE THAT’S JUST WHO SHE IS.


A MARKETING MAJOR WITH A HEART AS BIG AS HER PERSONALITY, 
KATIE BRINGS THE ENERGY THAT MAKES THIS TEAM FEEL LIKE HOME.

THE ENVIRONMENT WOULDN’T BE THE SAME WITHOUT HER, AND HONESTLY, 
WE WOULDN’T WANT IT TO BE.

SO HERE’S TO YOU, KATIE. 
YOU MAKE US LAUGH, FEEL SAFE, AND LOVE THIS SPORT A LITTLE MORE EVERY DAY.
NEVER FORGET: WE ADORE YOU, WE NEED YOU, AND WE’RE SO LUCKY TO HAVE YOU DURING THIS FINAL LAP.

TESSA KLINE  TESSA KLINE  

FROM BRIMFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS.



TESSA IS OUR SECRET WEAPON IN PLAIN SIGHT. A JUNIOR WITH UNDENIABLE TALENT, SHE SEEMS TO LEVEL UP EVERY SINGLE SEASON, GETTING A LITTLE FASTER,
 A LITTLE STRONGER,
AND A LITTLE MORE ICONIC.

FROM THE BEGINNING,
WE KNEW SHE HAD SOMETHING SPECIAL... 
AND THAT SOMETHING MIGHT BE THE DANCER IN HER. 


YES, ONCE UPON A TIME, TESSA WAS PIROUETTING ACROSS A STUDIO, AND LET’S BE REAL, THE FLEXIBILITY NEVER LEFT.
 WHILE MOST OF US STRUGGLE TO TOUCH OUR TOES,
TESSA IS CASUALLY DOING HANDSTANDS POST-WORKOUT
LIKE IT’S NO BIG DEAL.


SHE BRINGS A LIGHTHEARTED ENERGY TO THE TEAM.
FUNNY, CAREFREE, AND ALWAYS DOWN TO MAKE THINGS FUN.
 BUT THE SECOND THE STARTING GUN GOES OFF, 
THAT CHILL VIBE TURNS INTO FULL BEAST MODE.

TESSA MAY ONLY BE FIVE FEET TALL, BUT WHEN SHE RACES, 
HER AURA IS HUGE.
 YOU CAN FEEL IT
.
SHE RACES WITH FIRE, LIKE SHE HAS SOMETHING TO PROVE, EVEN THOUGH SHE ALREADY PROVED IT JUST BY SHOWING UP AND SHINING.

SHE CAME INTO COLLEGE RELATIVELY NEW TO THE SPORT, BUT YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW IT. 
SHE ADJUSTED FAST AND CLAIMED HER SPOT AS ONE OF OUR SPEEDIEST.


OUTSIDE OF TRAINING, SHE’S OUR STYLE ICON AND UNOFFICIAL TEAM PHOTOGRAPHER (SHOUTOUT TO THE EVER-PRESENT DIGITAL CAMERA).

WITH LASHES ALWAYS ON POINT, 
HAIR SLAYED (PROBABLY WITH HELP FROM RYLEE),
AND OUTFITS THAT EAT EVERY TIME,
TESSA REMINDS US THAT 
CONFIDENCE CAN LOOK CUTE AND FIERCE AT THE SAME TIME.


SHE’S A PSYCHOLOGY MAJOR, SO IF YOU THINK YOU ARE 
ONE STEP AHEAD OF HER... 
THINK AGAIN.

 SHE’S ALREADY READ YOUR BODY LANGUAGE, FIGURED OUT YOUR PACE STRATEGY, AND PROBABLY HAS A PHOTO OF YOU
MID-SUFFERING SAVED ON HER CAMERA.


AS A PROUD MASSHOLE, SHE BRINGS EAST COAST ENERGY TO THE WEST, AND WE’RE LUCKY TO HAVE HER. 
TESSA REMINDS US TO STAY GROUNDED, STAY STYLISH, AND NEVER TAKE LIFE (OR RACING) TOO SERIOUSLY.


SAMANTHA DUWE  SAMANTHA DUWE  

FROM OAK PARK, ILLINOIS.


SAMANTHA IS A SENIOR AND ONE OF THE MOST LOYAL AND QUIETLY FIERCE TEAMMATES WE HAVE.
SHE’S BEEN WITH US THROUGH IT ALL, YEAR AFTER YEAR, CHALLENGE AFTER CHALLENGE, SHE KEEPS SHOWING UP.
AND THAT ALONE? THAT’S POWERFUL.


AS A HISTORY MAJOR AND FUTURE LAWYER IN THE MAKING, SAMANTHA NEVER BACKS DOWN FROM STANDING UP FOR WHAT’S RIGHT. 

SHE’S GOT A VOICE, AND SHE USES IT, AND HONESTLY, OUR TEAM NEEDS THAT. WHEN WE GET QUIET OR UNSURE, SAMANTHA REMINDS US 
HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO SPEAK OUR MINDS AND STAY TRUE TO OURSELVES.


BUT SAMANTHA’S LOYALTY DOESN’T STOP WITH THE TEAM,
 IT EXTENDS TO HER JOURNEY WITH THIS SPORT.

CROSS COUNTRY AND TRACK CAN BE BRUTAL, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE CONSTANTLY FACING OBSTACLES. AND YET, 
SHE NEVER LETS THOSE SETBACKS DEFINE HER. SHE’S LEARNED PATIENCE, RESILIENCE, AND HOW TO SHOW UP ANYWAY.

WATCHING HER NAVIGATE INJURY AFTER INJURY WITH GRIT AND GRACE HAS BEEN GENUINELY INSPIRING. SHE MAY NOT ALWAYS BE AT THE STARTING LINE, BUT SHE’S ALWAYS PART OF THE TEAM’S HEARTBEAT.

AND WHEN SAMANTHA DOES RACE,
SHE DELIVERS.
THERE’S A QUIET STRENGTH IN HER THAT CAN’T BE TAUGHT. RUNNING IS IN HER SOUL, AND YOU CAN FEEL IT IN THE WAY SHE TRAINS,
THE WAY SHE CHEERS,
AND THE WAY SHE BELIEVES IN HERSELF AND ALL OF US.


THIS YEAR FEELS DIFFERENT. 
SHE’S BEEN PUTTING IN THE WORK, TRUSTING THE PROCESS, 
AND STAYING READY.
WE BELIEVE IN HER. WE SEE HER. 
AND WE KNOW HER TIME IS COMING. 
BECAUSE SOMEONE WITH THAT MUCH HEART WAS MADE FOR THIS SPORT.SAMANTHA, THIS SEASON IS YOURS. 
LET’S GO GET IT.


  AVA BOYD  AVA BOYD  

FROM LONGMONT, COLORADO.


AVA IS A JUNIOR, OUR TEAM SWEETHEART,
AND QUITE POSSIBLY THE MOST WHOLESOME HUMAN 
TO EVER LACE UP SPIKES.

SHE WALKED ONTO THE TEAM LAST YEAR WITH LITTLE CROSS COUNTRY EXPERIENCE AND STILL ENDED UP AS ONE OF OUR TOP SCORERS. 
LIKE, WHAT?!

FROM DAY ONE, SHE SURPRISED ALL OF US (INCLUDING HERSELF) WITH HER NATURAL TALENT, WORK ETHIC, 
AND THAT GLOWING, NEVER-ENDING SMILE.


SHE DIDN’T GROW UP AROUND XC, BUT SHE JOINED THE TEAM WITH AN OPEN HEART AND IMMEDIATELY SHOWED SHE BELONGED.

NO PROVING NECESSARY.

WHETHER IT'S THE HIGH-ALTITUDE GENETICS 
FROM HER COLORADO ROOTS 
OR JUST PURE DETERMINATION, 
AVA IS BUILT TO RUN FAR AND FAST.
BUT MORE THAN THAT, SHE’S BUILT TO LOVE IT.
HER JOY FOR THE SPORT IS CONTAGIOUS.
 WHEN IS AVA NOT SMILING? 
MAYBE... MAYBE... 
DURING THE FINAL 200 METERS OF A RACE.
BUT EVEN THEN,
 SHE’S PROBABLY STILL SMILING ON THE INSIDE.


AVA IS COMPETITIVE, DRIVEN, AND SETS BIG GOALS FOR HERSELF. BUT WE ARE HERE TO REMIND HER SHE’S
ALREADY PROVEN MORE THAN ENOUGH.

WE ADORE HER TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH. SHE BRINGS LIGHT, KINDNESS, AND AESTHETIC VIBES EVERYWHERE SHE GOES. 
AS AN ENGLISH MAJOR AND FILM, MEDIA & TV STUDIES MINOR, SHE’S OUR PHOTOGENIC QUEEN, THE GIRL WHO MAKES RACE PHOTOS LOOK LIKE MAGAZINE COVERS.


OUTSIDE OF PRACTICE, SHE’S IN THETA. SHE’S BUBBLY, SHE’S REAL, 
SHE’S EFFORTLESSLY COOL, 
AND SHE MAKES EVERY DAY ON THIS TEAM BETTER. 

AVA’S THE KIND OF PERSON 
YOU JUST WANT TO PROTECT AT ALL COSTS,
NOT BECAUSE SHE NEEDS IT, BUT BECAUSE 
SHE’S JUST THAT PRECIOUS TO ALL OF US.


  ELISA RAMIREZ  ELISA RAMIREZ  

FROM CULVER CITY, CALIFORNIA.


ELISA IS A JUNIOR AND A PUBLIC RELATIONS MAJOR WITH A GIFT FOR SHOWING UP,
FOR HER TEAMMATES, FOR HER COMMUNITY, AND FOR HERSELF.



SHE’S FACED MORE THAN HER FAIR SHARE OF OBSTACLES WITH THIS SPORT, 
BUT HER STRENGTH GOES FAR BEYOND FINISH LINES OR PRS.

 ELISA BRINGS SOMETHING DEEPER TO THIS TEAM,
A KIND OF QUIET POWERTHAT REMINDS US WHAT IT REALLY MEANS TO BE RESILIENT.



SHE SHOWS UP EVEN WHEN THINGS ARE HARD. THAT’S RARE. THAT’S LOVE.


AND HER HEART DOESN’T STOP WITH US...

THIS PAST SPRING, ELISA WAS
 RECOGNIZED AT THE 2025 IGGY AWARDS WITH OUR TEAM’S COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARD FOR A REASON.
 SHE GIVES BACK CONSTANTLY, SHOWING UP TO EVENTS, SERVING MEALS TO THOSE IN NEED,
 AND LIFTING OTHERS UP EVEN WHEN 
SHE’S GOING THROUGH BATTLES OF HER OWN.


 THAT’S WHO ELISA IS: 
A GIVER, A FIGHTER, AND SOMEONE WE ALL LOOK UP TO MORE THAN SHE KNOWS.


SHE’S BEEN PUTTING IN THE WORK, STEADILY, PATIENTLY, AND WITH QUIET DETERMINATION.


AND WE SEE IT. WE APPRECIATE IT.


 AND WE BELIEVE THIS IS HER YEAR TO SHINE,
TO CELEBRATE EVERYTHING SHE’S PUSHED THROUGH, AND TO FEEL 
THE LOVE SHE GIVES COME RIGHT BACK TO HER.
