In these days of tight school finances and new fees for athletic facilities, running on the high school cross-country team is a bargain. All the athletes need is a pair of running shoes and all the school provides are the coaches and some inexpensive uniforms. The "fields" are the streets of Burlingame and a really scenic race course high in the hills of Belmont overlooking highway 280.
The B'game Panthers are an up and coming cross-country team in the county. At yesterday's meet, the varsity boys finished 4th out of 16 teams paced by Max Keleher who placed 3rd out of 107 runners. The boys frosh/soph team finished 3rd paced by Clay Friedman who finished 7th out of 91 runners. And the girls frosh/soph team placed 4th paced by Molly Donald who finished 3rd out of 41 runners.

Well done! And congrats to coaches Frank Hunt and Obbie!
