few months away. Fall sports schedules for women’s and
men’s cross country, football, women’s and men’s
soccer, men’s water polo and volleyball have been posted on

The first meet of the season is scheduled to be held in
Santa Barbara on Saturday, Sept. 6. In what has become an alumni
event, the meet features a four mile combined race versus the
Warriors of Westmont College, followed by a 100-plus person dodge
ball competition on the sands of Ledbetter Beach. For those
familiar with the CMS cross country teams, the 2014 schedule is
similar to the last few seasons. After the season-opening meet in
Santa Barbara, the Athenas and Stags have the UC Riverside
Invitational on Sept. 13 and the Stanford Invitational on Sept. 27.
