SPMS Cross Country Classic | Enormous Turn Out for Annual Run in Garfield Park

 

Local middle schools, representing more than 400 runners, competed last week in the 12^th annual South Pasadena Middle School Cross Country Classic.

Held in South Pasadena’s Garfield Park, competitions were held in 6^th, 7^th, and 8^th grade categories in the event sponsored and organized by Aztlan Athletics and SPMS.

“It was successful as the event is being recognized as an important step in preparation for the athletes as they look ahead to the Mt. SAC Cross Country Invitational later in October,” said South Pasadena resident Jose Zavala, owner of Aztlan Athletics. “We are striving to build a very compatible regional cross country event for middle schools. We need to focus on this level in order to have consistent success in the Rio Hondo League at the high school level.”
