2019 MileSplit50 Individual Girls XC Rankings Countdown


20. Tori Gaitan

School: Great Oak (CA)

Year: 2020

Notable Finishes: 2nd at Mt. SAC; 1st at Woodbridge; 1st at Clovis; 1st at Bob Firman; 1st at CIF Division 1; 18th at NXN

Analysis: What a year Tori Gaitan had. When the time came for Gaitan to compete in a big moment last fall, she always came prepared and executed to near perfection, grabbing big wins at Mt. SAC, Woodbridge, Clovis and Bob Firman. More than that, Gaitan led Great Oak consistently at the front and buoyed the Wolfpack on the national stage, finishing 18th at Nike Cross Nationals as the program finished eighth overall. 

Gaitan's success shouldn't stop there. She's the top returner at both the 3-mile (16:06.10) and 5K distance (17:09.70) in California and once again should be the top athlete in the state. The only question mark remaining, perhaps, on a distinguished resume is where Gaitan will take her talents at the collegiate level. Stay tuned.
