At the CCS Golf Championships last Tuesday at Rancho Canada in Carmel, freshman sensation Katherine Zhu shot a 3-under-par 69, the best-ever Harker golf finish, catapulting her into the Northern California Championship in Salinas – the furthest any Eagles golfer has ever advanced! There she finished 19th out of 84 golfers, capping off a season in which she also won the WBAL individual league championship.

Volleyball

After defeating Sacred Heart Prep on senior night to earn the WBAL league co-championship along with Menlo, the girls varsity squad earned a No. 2 seed in the CCS Tournament, tying them with the 2007 team for the highest-ever seed achieved by an Eagles girls volleyball team. This Saturday night, they’ll have the opportunity to advance in the tournament when they host a quarterfinal match at Blackford against either Del Mar or Sacred Heart Prep. You can be a part of the action, too! For CCS contests, there is an admission price of $8 for adults and $4 for students. The girls finished their regular season with a 16-8 overall record and a 9-1 league record.

Tennis
