In March, varsity baseball player Shaurya Jain, grade 9, had a stellar showing at the opening game of the Peninsula Athletic League season, striking out 11 and allowing just two runs in Harker’s thrilling 5-4 victory over Crystal Springs. Both JV and varsity boys tennis enjoyed strong seasons, maintaining first and second place, respectively, in the West Bay Athletic League at press time. Over spring break, several Harker runners turned in personal best performances, including sophomore Brady Tse, who ran a personal record of 51.13 seconds to take first place in the 400-meter race at the Tiger Invitational in Southern California. At the Arcadia Invitational, senior runner Anjali Yella (who has committed to compete at Yale) took the school record in the 100-meter race, running 12.21 seconds to take first place. Meanwhile, several Harker swimmers made the cut for the Central Coast Section, including senior Ashley Hong, sophomore Wenjie Zou and senior Saahil Kajarekar. In May, as the athletic season neared its end, Harker seniors Varun Fuloria, Rachel Hernandez, Ashley Hong, Kyle Johnson, Lachlan Rossi, Ishani Sood, Jack Yang and Jonathan Zhang were recognized at a special signing ceremony, where each pledged to play their sport of choice at the university level.
