News and Announcements
I just wanted to thank all of the parents for the wonderful food they prepared and/or served at our first Cross Country Team Dinner last night! It was a huge success. We had a great turnout and all the kids were happy with all of the wholesome food and tasty treats. Thank you for taking the time to volunteer. It was greatly appreciated by all!

Mats XC runners—
If you are not racing in the 9/25 NorCal Kids Triathlon, consider being a volunteer. Check out the link (copy and paste into your browser) below and respond by 9/20. Your help is needed with this exciting 2nd annual event. Or, if you would like to race in a relay or individually, see the flyer in the files section of our website.
Note from Margot Woodward (Triathlon volunteer coordinator):
It would be great if the cross country runners would sign up to help with the run portion but any leg of the race/position is fine. Again, if they would like to compete either individually or form relay teams and have some intersquad competition, that would be awesome too.
We can use the parent support anywhere!!
Congratulations to our cross-country runners who ran the Ed Sias races today! There were 2200 runners (400 more than last year) and close to 40 high schools competing. The competition was tough but Miramonte took to the challenge and had some great races! Check out the results on the file list for the full results per division.
Even with a few divisions that did not have enough runners to score points (top 5 runners per team score points), Miramonte came away with three top 10 team awards—two 5th places (Varsity Boys and Frosh/Soph Girls) and a 10th place for Frosh/Soph Boys.
Below is a recap of the top 3 Miramonte runners in each division:
