SPORTS News:

The Los Alamos Middle School (LAMS) boys and girls cross country teams competed in their season-opener Saturday Sept. 4 at the Academy of Technology and the Classics (ATC) in Santa Fe.

Due to restrictions in place for the 2020 season, the middle school teams had not raced since October 2019, so this was the first experience racing for 8th graders as well as for 7th graders.

The team handled the 1.43 mile course well in hot conditions and against teams from Taos, ATC, St Micheals and Pecos. Led by 8th grader Mila Moseley finishing 2nd overall, the girls took the team win with a score of 24 points, from the top 5 girls placing 2-4-5-6-7.

Eight-grader Sam Prada was the top finisher for the boys with 6th place, and with the next 4 boys placing 7-8-9-10, their score of 40 points put them in second place behind Taos. 

The Hawks had a total of seven girls and five boys win ribbons for placing in among the top ten finishers. Los Alamos had 28 finishers on the boys team and 24 for the girls team. The next race will be Sept. 11 at the Joe Vigil Invitational, in Alamosa.
