Swimming
Isabelle Wilson, a senior on the Carrollton swim team, was outstanding at the Belen Invitational.
She won all her events -- individual and relay -- while setting two meet records. She set those records in the 200 free (1:58.94) and 500 free (5:08.79). She also swam backstroke on the winning 200 medley relay (1:59.94) and started the winning 400 freestyle relay (3:50.24).
Wilson, who committed to NCAA Division I University of Houston on an athletic scholarship, is undefeated in her individual events this season, and she has been a leader on the varsity team since sixth grade.
More swimming
The Davie Western girls' and boys' swim teams defeated Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna, Fort Lauderdale Dillard and Hollywood South Broward.
The Wildcats were led by Maryella Baker, Georgina Henriquez, Christian Rodriguez and the Peshkov brothers (Alexandr and Dmitriy). South Broward's Tajhari Williams was a double winner.
The Belen Jesuit boys' cross-country team had to adjust its season schedule due to the cancellation of the Prestate meet because of Hurricane Milton. To replace that canceled meet, the Wolverines returned to Jacksonville for a second time this season.
The additional week of training without a race seems to have helped Belen. The Wolverines dominated in an unprecedented manner on Saturday morning at the New World Fall Spectacular.
Belen was led once again by sophomore Marcelo Mantecon's first-place finish in 14:49 on the 5K (3.1-mile) course.
Throughout the season, the Wolverines, behind Mantecon, have performed strongly enough to remain unbeaten.
However, this time there was a tight pack much closer to Mantecon. That extremely compressed spread of 34 seconds by the next scoring runners was topped by Belen senior Joseph Socarras in a personal best 15:12.
Not too far behind Socarras was senior teammate Justin Ruiz and sophomore teammate Armando Cruz in 15:20. Rounding out the team's fifth spot was Marco Prieguez in 15:23. Those five runners scored just 28 points in a field of 39 teams. Their 5K team average of 15:12 was their lowest this season.
Belen will compete on Friday at the Junior Orange Bowl Invitational at Larry & Penny Thompson Park in Miami.
