Fall Sports Roundup
As we prepare for 2023 and our Winter sports teams kick off their season, we congratulate all of our Upper and Lower School athletes on a strong showing for Fall.
Our Varsity Football Team led by Coach Barnes made it all the way to the CIF Semifinals. Meanwhile, our Lower School's A Flag Football Team won the Gold Division CYO Football Championship for the first time ever! Go Mariners! Cross Country Boys Varsity and JV teams are the Santa Fe League Champions, while the Girls Varsity are Runner-Ups this year. We had multiple Cross Country athletes make it into the Top 10, and Coach Gwendolen Twist competed in the Cross Country National Championship and is now the 12th fastest female in the Nation!
Our Lower School Girls A Volleyball Team made it to the CYO Playoffs Championship Game, while our Girls Golf team had their strongest season yet, ending with golfer Nayani L. going all the way to compete in the CIF/SCGA qualifier for State. We're so proud of all of our Mariners' individual and team accomplishments!
