Freshman year of sports, I tried for the football team and then I realized that they wouldn’t really let me play because I’m a girl. I’d just be basically on the sideline. I heard about water polo, and I wanted to try it. Water polo for me was very fun, and very tiring, but it was something I would... Read more »

To me, soccer means to live. In a 90 minute game I undergo a variety of emotions both good and bad. Nervousness and fear run through me. Through soccer I have learned a lot about myself and my teammates. Mentally and physically I am always working hard and trying to succeed. My high school soccer experience... Read more »

My favorite moment from this year’s swim season was definitely our win over Modesto High. Coming into the meet, we were underdogs because we were significantly outnumbered, but we all swam hard and despite not having divers, we were able to barely win. To see everybody’s faces after our coach read... Read more »

My most memorable moment during our golf season was definitely playing Downey at Municipal Golf Course. When we played them, they were undefeated. I remember going into the match and we were all pumped up because we knew that if we beat them, we would be the first. My group was evenly matched as well... Read more »

Wrestling was my life for the last few years of high school. It was the only thing I could completely count on and it would not fail me. When I woke up in the morning, it was there waiting for me. I started wrestling in 6th grade at Salida Middle School and I was terrible. I lost over half of my matches.... Read more »

The best moment I had in golf was sophomore year when we were practicing at Muni, and my friend Akash and I went in the bunker and then we made sand angels. Then, Coach Stewart ran over and kicked us out. Golf was just a lot of fun and I enjoyed playing it. I’ve been a team captain for 3 years in... Read more »

You can’t just run, there’s a certain way you have to run. I started running track in 7th grade. But I was lazy, I’d rather just go home and relax. But over the years I started to like it. The best thing about what I do, which is sprints, is that I like the feeling I get when I run my top speed.... Read more »

Overall, it was such a special season. I got so close to the varsity girls team, who will definitely be my friends for the rest of my life, no matter what. This last season impacted me a lot in a sense that I'll never have this time or opportunity to devote myself so much to a sport. The coaches are... Read more »
