Enrique Villa

If Villa was force to pay rent for how many times he has landed on the top of the podium this year, he would surely declare bankruptcy. He followed his phenomenal 2017 campaign with an equally as strong showing in 2018 highlighted by being named the 2018 OEC Runner of the Year for the second-consecutive season. He reigned supreme in the OEC Championships after crossing the finish line with a mark of 21:23.1 and placed 16 second ahead of the second-place finisher. He followed a week later at the California Community College Athletic Association (CCCAA) Southern California Regionals by placing ninth overall with a clip of 21:12.4.
