A split week for Harker baseball. Following a 9-4 loss at South San Francisco on Tuesday, the Eagles rebounded for a 15-4 win on Thursday over Jefferson. Senior Jack Ledford and junior Aarav Borthakur had three hits to lead a 14-hit attack. Ledford, along with fellow senior Adi Jain, junior Gabe Sachse and frosh Shaurya Jain each drove in two runs as Harker raced to a 9-0 lead after three innings. The win improved Harker’s record to 5-5 overall and 3-2 in league. Harker has a pair of non-league home games ahead this week. The Eagles will host perennial CCS power Thomas More on Tuesday and Pinewood on Wednesday. Both games begin at 6 p.m. at Washington Park in Santa Clara.
It was a beautiful day at Menlo School for the Harker swim team. Three swimmers managed to earn their CCS cuts in their events in a meters pool (the vast majority of high school swim events are swum in yards). Senior Ashley Hong added 100 Fly to her growing list of qualified events. Junior Wenjie Zou racked up his first cut in the 200 Free. Senior Saahil Kajarekar earned his CCS cut in both of his individual events: the 100 butterfly and the 100 backstroke (an event he also placed first in). Be at the Singh Aquatic Center on Wednesday when the Eagles try for more CCS spots!
