Spring’s Record-Setting Achievements

Spring’s Record-Setting Achievements

Mariner Boys Golf had a record-setting season, securing the league championship title with only one loss in its overall 14-1 record. Mariners made it all the way to the CIF Team Championship, where they missed the cut by only 11 strokes. Junior Joe Bohan shot a 70 at Los Robles to qualify for CIF State, the first golfer in the Boys Golf program history to advance this far in competition! He finished the season 88th in all of California. We look forward to more high-level play from the team next season led by PGA Professional Coach Charles Womack.

At the Middle School level, 6th grader Westley H. shot a 30 to secure first place at the CYO Golf Championship at Heartwell Golf Course in Long Beach. Westley competed along with 5th grader Eduardo D. who shot 36, playing 9 holes on a par 3 course.

Mariner Softball secured second place in Camino Real League play in a hard-fought final loss to Bishop Montgomery capping off a highlight-filled season. Mariner Baseball, meanwhile, pulled off an historic win vs. Paramount - the first win in CIF Playoffs for Mariner Baseball in 20 years! Its solid playoff run ended in the CIF quarterfinals. 2025 was also the inaugural season for our Middle School Baseball team, including a big win vs. Brentwood.

At the CIFSS Divisional Finals for Track & Field, our 4x400 boys relay team of Evan Benet, Chris Barnes, Elijah Wilson and Jack Milligan, set a school record with a time of 3:28:61. Not to be outdone, at FIYA Track & Field, our 6th grade boys 4x400 relay team of Joaquin L., Jaib G., Zac S. and Henry H. set a FIYA record of 4:47:72 as they captured first place! Earlier at the CYO Prelims, Mariners claimed second place in the boys 4x100 (6th graders Jaib G., Henry H., Joaquin L. and Marcos M.) with a personal record of 57.93. For the girls, in the 4x400 it was a strong third place finish for 5th graders Damaris B., Emma E. and Shiva G. and 6th grader Kalianne L. with a time of 4:55.92. Joaquin L. also placed first in the 100 Meters with another personal record of 13.33 seconds. 

Also making the highlight reel this season, Boys Volleyball, the #32 seed, took down the #1 seed in a big 3-1 CIF playoffs win vs. Liberty/Winchester. 

Last week, SMPREP hosted a Signing Ceremony for four of its senior athletes continuing their achievements at the collegiate level. Luke Griffin will play football at Lewis & Clark College, Kim Macias will play basketball at University of Hawaii at Hilo, Sanai Lambert will play golf at Bethune-Cookman University and Savanna Hernandez will play softball at University of Rochester. Congratulations, Mariners! All hail, Green & Gold!
