The Los Angeles City Council recently honored Loyola’s 2015 Cross Country team, the only high school team in Los Angeles to capture a sixth CIF California State Cross Country Championship.

Councilman Gil Cedillo, 1st District, presented a proclamation to the team’s head coach Dr. Lalo Diaz.

“[Loyola] is an extraordinary high school, a pillar and anchor of our community … a school that’s located in the first district but serves the entire city,” Cedillo said. “It is an honor to talk about Loyola and the young men it’s preparing for leadership, people who will lead our city and will do it with reverence and respect.”

Loyola High School is located at 1901 Venice Blvd. For information, call (213)381-5121, or visit www.loyolahs.edu.
