La Mirada Wins Season Opener
Five Matador Cross Country teams achieved victory in their first dual meet of the season against Whittier High School. The Boys Varsity, lead by Nathaniel Moore, defeated the Cardinals 20 - 38. Rounding out the top seven were Sophomores Daniel Lee, and Jared Bird, Senior Ben Ramirez, Sophomores Jake Cooley and Freddy Ramirez, and Senior Mario Perez.
The Girls Varsity dominated Whittier by a score of 20 - 41. Senior Vanessa Thomas placed 2nd overall as the Matadores #1 runner. As is becoming a La Mirada tradition, the top 5 runners were separated by a mere 32 seconds. Finishing in the top seven spots on this day were Junior Amanda Stephens, Senior Audrey Serrata, Sophomore Ana Poblet, Junior Jackie Martinez, Senior Cynthia Mata, and Sophomore Megan Burbidge.
On the JV side, the Boys team won by default since Whittier HS wasn't able to field a full team. Leading the way was Dag Tesfaye. The Girls JV team was also victorious by default due to the Cardinal's lack of depth.
Sophomore Kevin Osborn earned a Varsity uniform after finishing as the Matadores #9 man overall. He lead the Frosh-Soph team to victory with a time of 19:43 . . . a new PR for Kevin!
