CROSS COUNTRY
The cross country season is underway. The team had a great showing at its first full team experience at the PV Mini Meet. The boys captured 1st place in 2 of 3 heats and the girls upped their game winning the first heat. While select athletes are in Hawaii racing in the Iolani XC Invitational this Saturday, our non-travel athletes are racing in the Laguna Hills Cross Country Invitational. Our next full team meet is the Woodbridge Cross Country Classic in the late afternoon through night on September 21, 2024. Our athletes are reaping the benefits of hard work and determination. While our athletes are racing hard, our parents are building the MCXC community with the Parent Cheer Squad tent – connecting with each other and supporting our athletes.

Important Notice Regarding Team Sponsorships
|
Sponsorships of Mira Costa athletic teams and visual and performing arts organizations are only available through MBX Booster Clubs. This includes the sale of banners, branded merchandise, distribution of promotional materials, publishing game calendars and more.
It has come to our attention that several companies are approaching local businesses and representing themselves as selling sponsorships that say they benefit Mira Costa athletics. These are not authorized representations and NO funds from these activities are received by Mira Costa High School or the teams they say they are representing.
If you or your business are approached, please contact Heather Interian, MBX Executive Director at Heather@mbxfoundation.org. We can verify the validity of the opportunity and direct you to the appropriate booster officers.
