The rescheduled meet between Washington and Newark Memorial was combined into a tri-meet at Coyote Hills Nov. 4 with Irvington and Kennedy High Schools, sealing the last league meet of the year. The varsity boys came out strong as senior Ben Rich, junior Jesse Chestnut and senior Max Landon swept the first three places against Newark Memorial, and junior Marc Leprince taking fourth against Kennedy. The boys varsity squad ended their league season with a 4-2 record, losing to Mission San Jose and James Logan.
Freshman Nolan Peterson took his fifth win in the Frosh/Soph boys division against Kennedy. Recovering from muscle detachments, he will join the varsity boys at North Coast Sectional Championships after league finals.
“I’ve been out injured most of the season, but I’m healing pretty well right now, and am planning to have a good meet at MVALs,” Peterson said.
The varsity girls have powered their way into a 5-1 league record, losing to Mission San Jose. Lead by juniors Jessica and Rachel Gerards, the girls season came out stronger than their previous season. The girls squad crushed Newark Memorial as juniors Jessica Gerards, Rachel Gerards, Maggie Sullivan, freshman Jessica Yee and sophomore Kelsi Ocon swept the top five times. Junior Laura Dunford and sophomore Emma Johnston followed behind against Kennedy, as all seven girls dominated in the meet.
“A lot of us were injured or not feeling well [when we raced against Mission],” sophomore Kelsi Ocon said. “We plan to peak at MVALs, so hopefully we’ll all perform at our best.”
The Huskies will compete at the MVAL finals Nov. 12 against the league schools for entrance into sectionals.
