The girls track & field team had the 3rd highest team GPA in the NCS Tri-Valley at 3.58.
This past Saturday we competed in the NCS Tri-Valley Championships at Foothill High School in Pleasanton. It was a day of disappointment and also a day happiness. The girls varsity finished third in the meet with 39 points, but had an opportunity to finish 2nd. The boys varsity finished 8th along with Los Lomas were the top 3A schools at the meet. Some individuals that we expected to advance, did not, while others exceeded our expectations. The heat was a factor for all teams. When it comes to the heat, it is not what you do the day of the meet, but what you did the three days before the meet.
