SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
Welcome to the home page of the Southern California Mustangs, a non-profit athletic organization!
The Mustangs is a year-round running club in the San Gabriel Valley Area. It is composed of boys and girls, primarily in grades 4 through 8.
We also have High School Mustang Alumni. We are very proud that SoCal Mustang Alumni attend and compete for very fine High Schools including Pasadena Polytechnic, Loyola, Cantwell, Bishop Amat, Maranatha, Cathedral, Ramona Convent, Mission, and Bosco Tech. During the CIF seasons, our high school runners run for their respective schools exclusively.
The true purpose of the Mustangs is to help develop Academic and Character excellence through application of skills and ideals applied in competitive
running and field events.
The Mustangs are not affiliated with any school or Park and Recreation District. Most of the Mustang athletes also compete for their school teams in various sports, including CIF and CYO.
The goal for each athlete is to develop National Level competition skills. The Mustangs compete in Junior Olympics, USATF, and AAU sanctioned meets, as well as other organized 5/10/20K Road Races, Cross Country, and Track & Field meets in the Greater Los Angeles Area.
Mustangs are serious athletes who understand that dedication and discipline are necessary for success in sports, but even more so in Academics and Character. Group Workouts are 2-4 times a week at various locations in the San Gabriel Valley, usually late afternoon, for about 90 minutes.
There is no monetary fee for being a member of the Mustangs. The cost is commitment to the Mustang ideals. Parents are responsible for all direct costs, including equipment, uniforms, meet fees, water, transportation, etc.
Parents are encouraged to attend and help at workouts and meets; Coaches are not
baby sitters.
When a running coach says "We are bringing our horses" he/she means they are bringing their best athletes. To be best does not necessarily mean the fastest, but the most motivated. Usually the most motivated eventually become the fastest. Recognizing this tradition, and the individuality of each athlete, the only logical choice for our team name is the SoCal Mustangs.
