Megan Kearney of the VC women’s cross country team has battled injuries all season. She appeared in just three of the team’s seven events heading into Friday’s Southern California Regionals in Van Nuys. With a bid to the state championships on the line, Megan took charge, finishing as the Pirates’ No. 1 runner for the first time since Sept. 5, leading the team to an automatic qualifying position to the state finals in two weeks in Fresno. She ran the 5k course in extremely hot conditions in 19:57 and is this week’s VC Pirate Student Athlete of the Week sponsored by Pacific Aire Heating and Cooling.
