Leonidas Arcoraci qualified for the state championships as an individual with a 15th-place finish in 20 minutes, 9 seconds at the Northern 2A regional meet in Reno, leading Oasis Academy to a sixth-place team finish with 115 points.
Arcoraci was one of the top seven runners not competing on a team that qualified for state, securing his spot in the state field after leading the Bighorns' effort.
Oasis packed its scoring runners closely behind Arcoraci. Keagan Craig finished 34th in 22:45, followed by Zayden Maynez in 35th with a time of 23:02. Jose Montalvo placed 43rd in 23:44, Kamron Bracken was 44th in 23:55 and Conor Tolman finished 49th in 24:56. Elijah Jones added a 55th-place finish in 26:19.
The Oasis girls were led by Riley Davis, who placed 11th in 23:56, one spot behind the final state qualifier. Sonora McInturff finished 28th in 34:23, and Faith Torres-May crossed the line 29th in 36:32.
While the boys fell short of a team state berth, Arcoraci will represent Oasis at the state meet after his top-15 performance earned one of the available individual qualifying spots.
The State Meet is this Saturday at Veterans Memorial Park in Boulder City.
