Track and Field

The track and field team was very busy and very successful last week. On Wednesday, it traveled to Bellarmine to compete at the WBAL No. 2. Highlights included a new school record in the girls 400-meter relay by Grace Koonmen, grade 11, Gloria Guo, grade 11, Nikki Solanki, grade 9, and Alycia Cary, grade 10. In addition, Davis Dunaway, grade 12, won both the 100-meter dash and 300 hurdles; Andy Koonmen, grade 10, won the boys 3200; Niki Iyer, grade 12, won the girls 1600; Davis Howard, grade 12, won both the discus and shot put; and Kismet Singh, grade 9, won the 100 hurdles, followed by Lilly Anderson, grade 10, and Solanki, for a Harker 1-2-3 sweep.

Later in the week, the Eagles competed at the Bearcat Invitational at San Mateo High. Koonmen, Guo, Solanki and Cary once again broke the school record in the 400 relay, finishing with the third fastest time in league this season. Angel Cervantes, grade 11, Mitch Granados, grade 10, Anthony Contreras, grade 11, and Dunaway ran the fastest 400 relay time in league this year. Contreras also ran 200 and 400 races that put him No. 2 in league, while Dunaway set the best pole vault mark in league this year. Setting season bests were Koonmen in the 100, Singh and Anderson in the 100 hurdles, and Tiffany Shou, grade 11, in the discus. In addition, Howard set a personal best in the discus by 20 feet.

Next up for the Eagles is the CCS Top 8 meet at Los Gatos on Saturday.
