In the fall, Matilda Torres’ Buffalo Soito (pronounced Soto) will become the first Matilda Torres boys cross country runner to run at a four-year school when he runs for UC Merced.
“I didn’t know I was the first,” he said. “ Now that I know I’m the first to go to a four-year, my teammates have something to look up to. Since I’m going to a four-year, they could go to a better school than I am.”
Soito celebrated his signing during a ceremony at Matilda Torres, and was the only boy there.
