This season, Michael has been one of the most consistent runners on the team. Never one to back-off or shy away from a tough workout, his hard work and effort paid off with a nice race at Mt. SAC. |

Justine was afraid of cross country after her experience last season. She refused to give in to her fears, came back this season, and has improved at every race and workout. She is a perfect example of what you can achieve if you don’t allow yourself to give up! |
Melissa Byrd has been one of the most consistent Lady Mats over the last three years. Even though she’s been training in pain, her coaches know that she is satisfied only with her best. Melissa’s attitude and approach to racing is one reason the Lady Mats have been successful since she’s been on the team. With her race at Warren-Stauffer, she jumps to the third spot on the list of elite seniors. |

A rookie, Joseph Jeon is a newcomer to the sport of cross country. He brings a refreshing attitude and a work-ethic that the entire team notices. He approaches each race with drive and determination. With his performance at Warren-Stauffer, he jumped on to the list of elite juniors–ahead of Andrew Diaz. |

What a difference a season makes! Last season, Celinda Manzo ran 24:23 at the Pepperdine Invite. Saturday, she was the #1 scorer for the varsity team, won the race, and set a new course record! Celinda is the perfect examples of how you can be rewarded for consistent hard work and determination. |
Clint Bales, freshman and rookie, trained most of the summer. Like all rookies, he came in not knowing what to expect and not pressured to do anything except run. At last week’s invite, Clint took his racing to a new level. Now he has one goal in mind: earn that varsity uniform! |
For most of the summer, Michael Palmer seemed content to take a back seat to the front runners. Last Thursday, he showed a fire we haven’t seen since his sophomore year. Let’s hope it continues all the way to CIF. |
|
Olivia Crigler worked so hard she earned herself an injury this summer. Since returning, she’s trained SMART and been the model of consistency. Refusing to quit, Olivia earned a PR on our home course at Saturday’s 5K Olive Festival. |
Regan Garcia picked up his training this season and it paid off. Saturday, he moved onto the elite list of sophomores in 3rd place, just ahead of Jared Bird. |
|
Paulina Tapia is a surprise member of La Mirada's top 5. Her renewed commitment to training and enthusiasm for the team earned her a 2 minute PR and the fifth spot Saturday. With SMART training, she’ll drop her PR even further. |
|
Aja Labasan’s positive attitude has taken her training to a new level this season. With her performance Saturday at the Bosco Tech Invite, she jumped onto the elite list of sophomore’s just behind Amanda. |
