La Mirada High School

One of La Mirada High School's brightest young prospects, Daniel Lee, sophomore member of the Cross Country team and Varsity athlete, is leaving La Mirada High School to attend school in Denver, Colorado. Thanks to his sister, Eunice, Daniel began his running career at La Mirada as a Freshman, training minimally his first summer and earning a PR of 19:46 for a 3-mile course. His talents became apparent during track season, when he closed in on the 5-minute mile mark. This summer, Daniel trained hard and earned a spot on the Varsity team. He raced to a PR of 16:47 at the Glenn/Artesia Meet and posted a terrific time of 16:53 at this year's Mt. SAC. Invitational. The entire boys team showed up for a farewell party for Daniel to show him how much he will be missed.

We all extend the best of wishes to Daniel and his family. We are all blessed to have had the opportunity to know and compete beside him.
