Mann placed second at the Stanford Invitational, recording the fifth-fastest time overall in the high

school division. The senior finished the race in 18 minutes 54 seconds. Mann’s finish helped Santa Margarita to a fifth-place finish as a team. Amber Trotter of Ukiah won the race in 18 minutes 23 seconds. Mann, who finished fifth in last year’s meet, recorded the fastest time of any county runner on the three-mile course.
