The gun goes off and the crowd is screaming so loud you can\’t hear the sound of your own heartbeat. It\’s cross country season, and the Barons are ready for another thrilling season.

The girls are off to a great start by winning the Buena Park dual meet, dominating at Las Vegas and getting 6th at Woodbridge last weekend.   

Lauren Erickson, a senior and captain on the varsity team says, “I am excited that we are doing so well in the season right now, and that the team is willing to step up.”

The girl\’s team expects to go to state and looks forward to Nike Cross Nationals in Oregon this November.

The boys are also doing extremely well, winning the Buena Park dual meet and placing 3rd at Las Vegas.  Woodbridge was a success; the team got 17th in tough competition with sophomore Luis Morales leading the team in the sweepstakes race.  

Both Coach Barratti and the boys anticipate winning the Sunset League title and running at CIF finals.

Hard work and the countless miles over the summer have prepared these Barons to battle the three mile races, be it rain or shine.
