Coach Brian Locher says, "Leza Cassidy ran back to Cuesta, in 2019, after her freshman campaign in 2016, and performed marvelously. Leza was the top finisher in each of the 6 races she competed in over the fall, finishing with the trifecta of awards; All-Conference, All Southern California, All State, a feat obtained by only 5 other women in Cuesta history. Leza's 4th place finish at State in a time of 18:40, marks the 5th best performance on the famed Woodward Park course in the Cuesta annals as well. Leza's success becomes even more stupendous after understanding that she had taken a two and a half-year hiatus from training."
