8th Grade Track Season

Well, your 8th grade track season didn’t end the way we imagined. You came out strong—winning the 400m in your first two meets and getting a PR 1:05! You were part of both the girls’ 4x100 relay and the co-ed 4x100,both teams did well!

Unfortunately, a track practice accident, an ambulance ride, and a pretty rough ankle sprain cut the season short. We hoped for a quick recovery, but ankles take time to heal (more time that any of us wanted).  I hope you know how proud we are of everything you’ve done—over all three years at CMMS. You gave it your all, had fun, made amazing friends, and ran fast.

Next up. . . high school track at IHS. 

From Teammates to Lifelong Friends

This weekend’s soccer party felt like more than just the end of a season—it felt like the closing of a chapter. As you step into this next phase with Surf, it feels natural to look back at all you have gained since playing for Gunners since you were 5 years old and LFC that last two years.

You’ve played alongside some of these girls since you were 8 or 9 years old. You have built friendships that have grown stronger with every early morning, every road trip, every hard-fought game. These aren’t just teammates—they’re your people!

It’s sad knowing that not everyone will move forward together. Some girls will stay, others may decide to leave, and some might not make the next roster. It’s the reality of competitive sports, but that doesn’t make it any easier. What does help is knowing the bond you’ve built with these girls is bigger and  something that will stay with you for life.  You’ve learned grit, grace, teamwork, and what it means to lead with heart. You’ve lifted others up, dug deep when it was hard, and shown up even when it was pouring down rain sideways (and never complained).  We are so proud of you and your teammates for sticking together even when it was really hard.   Go LFC G10GA.
