Cuesta Men's Cross Country landed four harriers on the 2021 All-Western State Conference lists, after the Cougars finished 5th in the Western State Conference Finals and 19th at the 2021 CCCAA State Championship. Returning Freshmen Jordan Reilly (St. Helena HS) and Luis Cervantes (Santa Maria: Righetti HS) led the Cougars to the 2021 CCCAA State Meet and were both named to the 2021 All-WSC Second Team. They also shared the pack lead over their eight starts, as they each posted the team's best finish four times this season. At the 2021 CCCAA State Championship, Reilly paced the Cougars with a 51st (21:23.3) place finish, while Cervantes battled through the tight pack and was less than a half minute behind at 84th (21:50.7). Reilly's time also earned him the 19th spot on Cuesta Men's Cross Country's All Time (since 1996) Top 20 CCCAA State Finals Times.
Freshmen Xander Mahan (Nipomo HS) and Nicolas Moore (San Andreas) both earned all-WSC Honorable Mention honors.
