This week, the boys and girls varsity water polo teams and the varsity girls tennis team are preparing for their league tournaments, while the varsity girls volleyball team prepares for the final senior night of the fall season. Meanwhile, Kristine Lin, grade 12, has become the most-accomplished girls golfer in Harker history. The end of the fall season is upon us and the playoffs are coming up! Here are the results from the last week of Harker athletics:
Water Polo:
ALL THREE TEAMS BEAT CUPERTINO AHEAD OF THIS WEEK’S LEAGUE TOURNAMENTS
All three water polo teams beat Cupertino last Thursday to celebrate Harker’s senior day in style. For the girls, Anna Levine, grade 12, and Delaney Martin, grade 11, each scored two goals, and Lea Daran, grade 12, added another to lead the team to a 5-4 victory. Goalie Helena Dworak, grade 10, had eight blocks. The varsity boys crushed the Pioneers 15-3, then competed in the Homestead Tournament over the weekend. The highlight of the tournament for Harker was the boys’ 13-7 victory over Liberty High. In that game, Eric Holt, grade 11, led the team with four goals. Jeremy Binkley, grade 11, scored three times. Raymond Xu, grade 9, had two goals, and Karan Kurbur, grade 12, and Billy Bloomquist, grade 11, each had one.

Lin was this year’s league champion, making this the second year in a row in which she has captured that title.
