Matadores Prepare for League Finals

The Lady Mats Secret Weapon? Or has Christina Bird rejoined the team?

La Mirada Cross Country teams celebrated Halloween with their annual morning practice and team brunch. After a grueling workout in the hills above Clark Park, an odd looking group of runners ate to their hearts content at a local restaurant.

By far the most bizarre costume of the day was donned by Jared Bird who dressed in a Lady Mat uniform previously worn by his sister, Christina.

The boys and girls of the Varsity and JV teams will take to the hills of the famed Mt. SAC course on Wednesday as they attempt to earn the Suburban League title. It appears that injuries may hold a significant group of runners out of League Finals this year. As of Sunday, it's not certain whether or not Clarissa, Erica & Adele are ready on the girl's team. Kevin & Sean are uncertain for the boys.

Currently, the Girls Varsity team holds on to first place while the Boys Varsity and Girls JV team enter League finals in second place.

The schedule of races for League Finals is as follows:

Race	Time
Girls JV	1:30 p.m.
Boys JV	2:15 p.m.
Girls Varsity	3:15 p.m.
Boys Varsity	4:00 p.m.
