CIF-SS Finals: Taylor Made for a Trip to the State Meet
Freshman, Taylor Jones, became the 2nd Lady Mat in school history to qualify for the CIF State meet by finishing 12th at the CIF-SS Division II Finals. To do so, Taylor had to move up from the 50th spot, behind teammate, Celinda Manzo, as the girls entered the daunting switchbacks. Using the downhills to her advantage, Taylor moved up to 30th just before "poop-out," and was gaining ground on the chase pack. By the time she crested Reservoir Hill, she was battling for 20th place with a runner from Whittier High School. Over the last 800 meters, knowing a trip to the championship meet was at stake, Taylor Jones -- itti-bitti to her teammates -- passed 8 competitors and finished with a time of 18:08, good enough to ensure a spot on the starting line in the CIF Division II State Championship Race! This year's race begins at 8:45 a.m. at Woodward Park in Fresno.

CIF-SS Finals: Lady Mats give it their best
For the Lady Mats, the focus of the 2009 season was on one race: CIF-SS Finals. Each member of the 2008 team was eager to prove to others what deep down she already knew: "We are not a last place team." Memories of the 2008 Cross Country season and the disappointment they felt at CIF-SS Finals, motivated many of them to take their training to a new level. Using the 2008 race as an impetus, they stepped up their effort throughout the summer and entered the season ready to roll.

After months of running more quality miles than ever before, they knew they were prepared. No longer content to run "junk miles" or to simply complete a workout, they vowed that each day and every mile they ran would take them to their goal. By now, every race was treated as a stepping stone. League races were viewed by the front pack as hard workouts; just another strong tempo run to add to the mix. Invitationals became their new focus--Bosco Tech, Woodbridge, Dana Hills, Warren Stauffer, Apache, and Mt. SAC. As one-by-one they were crossed off the list, these races earned them new team time records, PRs, or a top 3 finish. Each one offered a new experience, a new lesson, and hope of future success. For their efforts, they were ranked amongst the "Top 10" teams in Division II nearly the entire season and established themselves as the fastest girl's team ever from La Mirada High School.

Unlike previous years, CIF-SS Prelims was no longer their obstacle. This season it seemed more like a nuisance than something to fear. Qualifying for Finals was an assumption each girl shared. Since 2005, the Lady Mats have been represented at the CIF-SS Division II Finals meet on four occasions. Still, this would be only the 2nd time they advanced to finals as a team. It was only when the week finally arrived that they realized -- collectively -- how deeply afraid they were. "Are we good enough?" "Can we really run that fast?" Questions, self-doubt, and fear filled their minds. Then suddenly Thursday afternoon, it lifted. Fear turned to desire and doubt transformed itself into passion and fire.

When the race started a pack of Lady Mats were gobbled up inside a pack of surging runners and pushed to the rear. Once again, they were in last place. But unlike 2008, this year's team held on and fought back. Methodically, Taylor Jones and Celinda Manzo moved into the top 50. Nearing the runway, Taylor took off and moved into the top 30. Emily De Boer and Lauren McIntyre worked side-by-side over the hills, trading positions as they ran up and down the rolling terrain. Nicole Hammonds found herself in front of Ashley Casanover for the first time this season and bravely stepped up to the challenge. Paulina Tapia, after sitting out close to two weeks with an injury, rounded out the team.

After a long wait, the results were finally posted. Taylor, Emily, Lauren, and Nicole established new PRs for the prestigious Mt. SAC course. Five girls ran faster than 20 minutes and in the process set a new school Team Time Record of 1:35:22 for the course. Moreover, they had beaten the #10 ranked team in the state and come within one point of beating the #8 ranked team. Still, they were in 10th place, three places and 28 points short of qualifying for the State Meet. In the end, they went home knowing that a trip to Fresno was within reach. With a new season coming up, with new lessons learned, each returning member of the team vows that 2010 will be the year they GET TO STATE as a TEAM!
