Leon a state champion

 Diego Leon became just the second distance runner from Hartnell to win a state cross country title on Saturday, joining Daniel Tapia.
 Leon, an Anzar High product, covered the four mile course in Fresno in 20:10.
 As a team, the Panthers finished eighth overall. Also running for Hartnell were  Justin Carrancho,    Rene Siqueiros, Andrews Gutierrez and Luis Vargas.
  Malena Grover and Brandi Hobson finished 13th and 14th respectively for the Panthers, helping the Northern California women's champions to a fourth place finish.
  Grover, who prepped at Salinas High, covered the 3.1 mile loop in 18:46 while Hobson, a former North Salinas distance ace, was timed in 18:47.
  Rounding out the Panthers were Rachel Shimabukuro, Nancy Rodriguez and Maritza Ruelas -- all of which dipped under 20 minutes
