Middle School Boys

We didn't have any Middle School boys on the podium -- but we had great performances from what was essentially an Elementary Team, with only one 7th grader, Erik Moss, and one 6th grader, Sebastian Morales.

Our mostly Elementary team still placed 6th out of 20 Middle School Teams. This is really an incredible accomplishment by this relatively young team against some pretty talented and experienced teams. Proud of these boys!

The order of finish for our top boys out of 281 runners:

• Erik Moss 17th

• Mason Polonia 5th grader, 36th

• Mark Barba 4th gr, 39th

• Dylan Vining 5th gr, 44th

• Christian Delprado, 5th gr, 69th

• Sebastian Morales, 98th

• Liam Sierra, 4th gr. 110th

• Toby Morales 3rd gr., 117th

• David Martin, 4th gr. 198th

• Michael Morilla , 5th gr. 205th.

Elementary Team

This race didn't have a specific elementary event. However, our Girls' Elementary Team looks more and more like a State Champion Team as they contributed to the success of the Middle School team.
