Matador Weekly Update

Hello Matadors,

The energy on campus is incredible as our students settle into their classes and routines. Our fall sports teams are ramping up their schedules and our annual Club Rush will occur next week. I strongly encourage you to talk with your student about getting involved; whether it is joining a competitive team, trying a new sport, or signing up for one of our diverse campus clubs, connecting outside the classroom is key to a rich high school experience. Thank you for your continued partnership in making this a fantastic start to the school year!

The Mira Loma Cross Country team competed in the Sierra Invitational on Saturday, August 22nd wearing 1960 replica uniforms representing Mira Loma alumni who made an impact on the distance running program.

Congratulations to Italia "Lia" Murillo (14:33.88) and Camila Morgan (15:23.02). In their debut race both find themselves on the Top 10 All-Time list for the Sierra College course at 5th and 9th, respectively. Lia also broke the freshman class record by 12 seconds. Well done ladies.

The boys team placed three new names on the Top 10 List and set a couple of class records.

Congratulations to Teodoro "Teo" Giglini. He crossed the finish line in 12:03.91 breaking the Sophomore class record held by Connor Martin by 11 seconds. Congratulations to Mykah Woolf. His time of 11:35.32 broke a 7 year old Freshman record by 18 seconds. The record was held by William "Will" McCoy. Like Lia and Camila, Mykah broke into the Top 10 placing 4th and Teo is 8th. Junior Evan Farnworth entered the Top 10 at number 5 by running a time of 12:02.8. Sophomore Connor Little finished the hilly 2 mile course in 12:29.83 to sneak in at number 10 on the All-Time list.

The entire team competed well on the challenging 2 mile course, formerly host to the Northern California Championship and the Sac Joaquin Section Championship.

The Mira Loma Girls Golf Team has started off the year with a victory over Marysville. The team was led by our newest member, 9th grader Allison Oh, who shot a match-best 51. The next three finishers were also Mira Loma students: Team Captain Lexi Chin shot a 52, Makayla Smith shot a 55, and Wengel Li shot a 63. Additionally, Abigail Canet and Ivy Huang finished the first 9-hole match of their careers to place in the top ten and receive league points as freshmen. Way to go, Lady Mats!

Mira Loma takes the win against Valley High this past Thursday.

We are so excited for the locker room renovation project. Each student will have their own locker which will fit a backpack and/or athletic bag. Padlocks are being ordered and issued to each student. Our goal is to have locker room access after Labor Day weekend. Stay tuned. . .
