This week was the final week of the regular season for several Claremont High School sports (cross country, girls tennis, girls volleyball, boys water polo). With the exception of football, CHS now has the CIF playoffs to look forward to with Monday being the stay that CIF will release playoff brackets.
This week featured many great highlights with Drew Spinosa and Megan Huang becoming the Sierra League doubles tennis champions and the Frosh/Soph and junior varsity boys cross country teams placing first at the Sierra League Finals. But the varsity girls cross country team stands out due to finishing 2nd at the Sierra League Finals to complete a solid season.
For the past 2 years, a lot of the attention has been on the CHS varsity boys cross country team (and rightfully so) due to finishing in the top 5 in 2009 and 2010. But this year, the girls team has emerged as a highly competitive group and after finishing in 3rd place at the first Sierra League meet, they improved each time the league teams competed against each other. And Megan Renken became the Sierra League champion, beating out all the runners on a very strong Ayala team. The girls have much to be proud of this year and I look forward to seeing what they can do in CIF.
The COURIER will keep an eye on all of the upcoming playoff action. For more thoughts on this year's CHS teams, click HERE.
