On
September 24, 2012 the Piedmont Middle School cross country team participated
in the annual Golden Gate Fields (GGF) meet in Berkeley. About 400 students
from 13 different schools participated in this annual East Bay League meet
which was hosted by Albany Middle School.
It was a
beautiful if breezy day at Golden Gate. The infield was an ideal location to
have the first meet for the 6th graders and many of the upper grade
participants. The race route is flat and grassy the whole way round, meandering
between ponds with fountains.
Four
different races were held during the meet, starting with the 6th grade boys
race. PMS placed 3 boys in the top 10 finishers of this race. Henry Cooper
placed 6th, Dylan Thayer placed 9th, and Mitchell Curtis placed 10th.
Next went
the 6th grade girls. Our PMS girls are the defending League champions – wooo
hoot! Erin Hong represented the new girls accordingly, placing 3rd among the 6th
grade girls, and Zoe Rickard placed very well at 12th.
Next was
the 7th and 8th grade boys race, where Kyler Mortimer lead the 17 PMS runners
in this race, finishing 21st. Ellie Coleman and Ava Podell, represented 7th and
8th grade girls superbly in the last race, finishing 5th and 11th respectively.
The
trooper of the day was Mini Cooper, who despite a bit of spill, dusted herself
off and finished well. Kudos Mini!
