Simi Valley High's Sarah Baxter approaches the cross country finish line during the CIF-Southern Section championships at Mount San Antonio College. The junior won her third title there and will try to win her third straight state title this weekend in Fresno.

Rich Gonzalez knew he was witnessing something special.

Having followed high school cross country competition for more than 20 years, Gonzalez could sense Sarah Baxter was on the verge of history last month at the Mount San Antonio College Invitational.

The Simi Valley High junior was on a blistering pace, yet hardly labored as she gracefully strode along the 2.94-mile course.

Gonzalez and everyone around him could hardly believe their eyes when Baxter crossed the finish line in 16 minutes flat, shattering the course record by a full 16 seconds.
