SRLA Crushes the LA Marathon

Our SRLA runners woke before dawn and boarded their bus headed for Dodger Stadium before first light on March 19th. Our students and coaches were up for the 26.2 mile “Stadium to the Stars” challenge. All 21 students, and 6 coaches rocked the LA Marathon course.  8th grader Hennesy Limas was our fastest finisher at 4:34:34- That’s a 10 min 28 sec per mile pace! Congratulations to Team SRLA: Hennesy Limas, Belen Ramirez, Jayleen Monge, Hayleigh Geyer, Khloe Alvarez, Karen Marin, Christian Vasquez, Keith Cho, Kalani Palomo, Irene Ramirez, Jacob Covault, Ashley Jeronimo, Victoria Garcia, Ayari Alvarado, Nydia Palacios, Juliana Fonseca, Timothy Torres, Royal Hernandez, Kamila Sandoval, Cesar Guzman, Aliyah Pantoja, and our coaches Desiree Chavez, Chris Fontenot, Michelle Sanchez, Lina Orsini, and Ben Alvarado.
