That’s a wrap on our 16th Annual Big Bear XC Camp! Countless memories were made, and so many miles were logged on the trails.

FLASH XC (Big Bear) Camp!

02/17/2026

The 2nd Annual Mesa Mile in 2026 served as an introduction to the track season, following a successful run at the Russ 5K.
Our team uses this race to transition into speed training for track.
Our team philosophy focuses on development. While we do win races, our primary goal is to take kids from being couch potatoes to becoming competitive athletes.
This year, several runners had breakthrough performances, with the most notable being:
- Samuel Staar, who improved his time from 7:53 to 6:22.39, finishing in 7th place after nearly coming in last in 2025.
- Raegan Darden, who improved her time from 8:22 to 6:57, a gain of over one minute, finishing in 9th place.
- Giannah Johnson, who broke her own Mesa Mile record and won the 13-14 division!
These achievements highlight the growth and progress of our athletes as they prepare for the season ahead.

The Run for Russ 5K event was a tremendous success, with Team Flash showcasing strong representation. Sixty members ran through the streets of Chino, achieving impressive personal records. Notably, Gianah Johnson excelled in the women’s division, finishing first with a new Flash club record of 17:44, which translates to an average pace of 5:40 per mile. This remarkable time places her among the top female runners in many high schools across the country. At just 12 years old, she has considerable potential for improvement, especially since the club emphasizes lower mileage training.

Cash Johnson finished closely behind in second place, missing the boys’ club record by just two seconds, with a time of 17:13. Team Flash dominated the 14 and Under division, sweeping the top three spots. The outstanding performances were as follows:
**8 and Under Division:**
1. Galilea Espino - 23:21 2.
Lola Trujillo - 27:16
**8 and Under Boys **
3. Malachi Villalon - 28:59

**14 and Under Girls:**
1. Giannah Johnson - 17:44
2. Adela Martinez - 18:55
3. Alexandra Smith - 19:04

**14 and Under Boys:
1. Cash Johnson - 17:13
2. Agustin Velasco - 18:04
3. Zachary Lim - 18:14
Now, the club will shift its focus to track season and prepare to run fast!
