Rolonda Jumbo emerged from the pack and breezed to a victory in the Doug Conley Invitational cross-country meet on Oct. 9 at the Tempe Rolling Hills Golf Course. It served notice that she will have a strong chance to repeat as champion at the Class 3A state meet next month. "="">
But that isn’t really any big revelation. Jumbo’s reputation for excellence is known far and wide, over every inch of ground the junior covers for defending state champion Chinle.

“I just have to keep doing what I’m doing and I think I will have a chance (to win the title again),’’ she said.
"="">
She had a course-record 18:34.78 at the Conley, which was pleasing for Chinle coach Shaun Martin to see.

“Last year, she was in the race, but she didn’t really race,’’ he said.
