It was a hard fought season for the boys cross country team with multiple injuries. Th ey ended the season placing 12th out of 17 in CCS. “I’d say my favorite moment was having a great season opener at the Lowell Invitational and then becoming the 9th fastest M-A runner on the Half Moon Bay course. My season didn’t end well as I got a stress reaction in my left foot and couldn’t race the rest of the season.” - Lars Osterberg Th e girls tennis team had an incredible year going undefeated in league with a record of 84-0. Th ey ultimately lost in the CCS Quarterfi nals against Harker. “Th roughout my years on the M-A girl’s varsity tennis team, I’ve been fortunate to have coaches Tom Sorensen and Carlos Aguilar set values of good sportsmanship and a welcoming team environment, providing for a close knit team and an enjoyable season. Th ese values, along with some good tennis, were what made our CCS quarter fi nal against Harker Highschool a memorable match. Having tied the match at 3-3, it was down to our singles 4 player, Emma Williams, to battle it out. Th e entire girl’s team and several players from the boy’s team came out to support her. Emma persevered through a three and a half hour match, playing points as long as fi ve minutes. Emma’s opponent ultimately won (7-5, 7-5), but we ran towards her with a big team hug. Despite the outcome, this was a proud moment for the M-A tennis team, as Emma’s grit and our support for her embodied the values M-A tennis upholds.” - Charlie Smith 33 Girls soccer had a decent season going 7-7-5 overall and 5-4-3 in league play. Th e season ended with a 2-2 draw against Woodside. “My favorite game of the season was against Carlmont. Th ey were the number one team in the league so we were not predicted to win. However, we came together as a team and played a strong defense. We ended up winning and it was a great moment for the team as a whole. We had been training hard for weeks in preparation for the game and it was really special to see that work pay off .” - Maya Kennedy
