A huge congrats to the five Eagle swimmers (Matthew Chung, Jason Kwok and Rhys Edwards, all grade 10, Ethan Hu, grade 11, and Alex Yu, grade 12) who represented Harker at the CCS Championships on Saturday. The boys took home a third place CCS finish as a team thanks to these amazing finishes:
 
– The 200 medley relay team (Chung, Kwok, Hu, Edwards) finished first, setting a new CCS record.
– Hu took first in the 200 IM and the 100 fly, setting CCS records in both events.
– Kwok took second in the 100 breast and 34th in the 50 free.
– The 200 free relay team (Chung, Kwok, Hu, Edwards) took second.
– Chung finished third in the 200 IM and 500 free.
– Edwards was ninth in the 100 free and 10th in the 50 free.
– Yu took 13th in the 500 free.
 
The boys will compete at the State Championships beginning this Friday at Clovis West High School.
 
Boys Volleyball
The boys volleyball team finished the regular season with a 29-5 record and ranked No. 12 in the nation and No. 2 in CCS after falling to Monta Vista (No. 7 in the nation, No. 1 in CCS) 0-3 and defeating Los Altos 3-0. The Eagles were rewarded with a No. 1 seed in the CCS D3 bracket, and open at Sacred Heart Prep on Tuesday night.
 
Boys Tennis
The boys tennis team won its opening CCS match with Aptos 7-0, but was knocked out of the playoffs with a 0-7 loss to No. 1 seeded Menlo. However, the doubles team of Ramanand Vegesna and Mihir Sharma, both grade 11, qualified for CCS and opens play against Carmel on May 14.
 
Lacrosse
Last week, the lacrosse team defeated Notre Dame Belmont 18-3 and Priory 17-7 to win its second consecutive WBAL-Skyline Championship. The ladies finished the regular season 14-3 and ranked eighth in CCS. The Eagles host Aragon in the quarterfinals of the WBAL Championships this Tuesday at 5 p.m. on Davis Field.
 
Track and Field
At the WBAL Track & Field Championships last Friday, Alexa Lowe, grade 9, won the league championship in the triple jump, upsetting four others seeded ahead of her. Gio Rofa, grade 11, placed second in the triple jump and Ayush Vyas, grade 12, placed second in the shot put with a three-foot personal best. All three will be competing in next Saturday’s CCS trials.
 
Boys Golf
The boys golf team took third place in the WBAL Championships last week. The Eagles play in the CCS regionals on Tuesday at Laguna Seca Golf Ranch.
 
Baseball
The baseball team went 1-1 last week to bring its season record to 13-8. In a 15-4 win over Crystal Springs Uplands, Zach Hoffman, grade 12, and Levi Sutton, grade 10, each drove in two runs. Later in the week, the Eagles fell to South San Francisco 3-7. This week, the team hosts Thomas More for Senior Night on Monday and finishes off the regular season on Tuesday at Westmoor.
 
Softball
The softball team went 2-1 last week to improve to 6-12 on the season. The girls started the week with a tough 1-23 loss to Fremont, with Emma Crook, grade 9, driving in the lone run. The Eagles bounced back with a 17-0 win over Mercy SF, with Cameron Zell, grade 12, driving in four runs and Brooklyn Cicero, grade 9, adding three more RBIs. Taylor Lam, grade 12, threw 3 innings of one hit, six strikeout ball before the mercy rule was applied. The Eagles ended the week with a forfeit win over Crystal Springs Uplands. This week, the Eagles finish their season traveling to Mercy Burlingame on Tuesday before Senior Night on Thursday against ND San Jose.
