  • Athletics:

    Cross Country: On Wednesday, October 1st, conditions were hot here at Midland, 100+ degrees, but many of the runners set their own personal records in their first league meet of the year. Midland Boys took 2nd place in the league beating the 8th-ranked D5 team in the state--Laguna Blanca. Sheridan Stegner '09 was 5th with a PR of 17:27 and Evan Kidd '11 was 10th. Three freshmen boys, Marcus Schmidt, Peter King and Ted Kim broke 20 minutes for their first time and they are probably the fastest freshmen in the league.

    Midland Girls beat Dunn to take 4th place. Mara Gabriel '11 led with a PR of 25:01 and was 14th in the league. Freshman Callie Bryan was the important 5th place finisher for Midland, beating out two Dunn girls in order for the team to win.

    7 Midland boys ran last Saturday at the Big Ditch Invitational in Arroyo Grande. Sheridan Stegner '09 led the team with a 18:01 5K time. Midland place 5th overall against some very large schools: 1st place Cabrillo (enrollment: 1613), 2nd place Paso Robles (enrollment: 1942), 3rd place Atascadero (enrollment: 1536), 4th place Nipomo (enrollment: 1213), 5th place Midland (enrollment: 92), 6th place Templeton (enrollment: 807), 7th place Santa Ynez (enrollment 1019) and 8th place Estancia (enrollment 1263). All 7 boys ran faster this year than our top time (Sheridan Stegner) from last year!

    Volleyball: The Varsity Girls won their first 2 games against Besant Hill and Dunn's JV team. The JV Girls also won their first game against Besant Hill. The next games are tomorrow, Saturday, October 4th against Oak Grove at Midland during our Round-Up weekend.
