Freshman Harrier Weston Greenelsh cleared the course at Fresno's Woodward Park in just 20:38.1 to claim the 2024 CCCAA State Title.  Greenelsh paced the pack by almost a full ten seconds to become the Cougars' first State Champion since Sean McDermott in 2016.  A product of San Luis Obispo High, he has built his way towards the title, after previously earning first team honors at both the conference and regional finals with 5th and 3rd place finishes, respectively.  Greenelsh was the Cougars' top finisher in all eight of his starts this year and landed among the Top 10 finishers in each of them.  Fellow Freshman JP Walsh was the only other member of the Cougars' pack to qualify for the CCCAA State Championships.  Walsh, from nearby Arroyo Grande, finish 108th in the field of 192 competitors.  He spent most of the season in the middle of the Cougars' pack, but stepped up during the championship events and finished right behind Greenelsh in each of his last three starts.  He earned all-Conference honors with a 29th place (22:00.2) finish at Western State Conference Championships, before landing in 77th (22:38.8) at the Regional Meet and 108th (22:47.9) at the CCCAA State Meet.
