Alameda Asteroids Blaze Trails

Over 40 6th - 8th graders competed in this fall’s Alameda Asteroids cross country program under the incomparable coaching of Debra Cramer and Don Porteous. This AEF Enrichment program provides middle schoolers from all Alameda public school sites the opportunity to come together and develop as a team. The runner participated in 4 meets this season, including a home meet at Crab Cove and a championship meet at Kennedy Grove. Along the way, student-athletes learned the basics of training, fitness and conditioning along with challenging themselves to reach their personal best. All of this is enveloped in a positive team-building atmosphere that centers sportsmanship and respect. Congratulations Asteroids!
