Middletown High School cross country runners Giana Tyrrell and Javier Perez are both on a mission Saturday when they compete along with their teammates at the North Coast Section Championships in Hayward. The Middletown girls need a top-six team finish and the Middletown boys a top-five finish to qualify for the CIF State Championships on Nov. 30 in Fresno. The top five individual runners who are not part of state-qualifying teams also advance to Fresno. The boys race at 11 a.m. and the girls at 12:30 p.m. (Photos courtesy of Michael Lucid)
