Thank you Dr. Posthuma for this athletic update!
Athletics for the Week of October 29th - November 2nd;
The fall sports season has come to a close. Our athletes experienced the highest level of competition available for their age group. Our teams performed with skill, dedication, commitment and encouragement throughout each season of sport. We are proud of the accomplishments of our athletes and our teams.
First of all, we must recognize our awesome Cheer and Song teams! The teams spend hours and hours each week, getting up early to come to class and cheering late into the night. The team members show the same commitment, dedication, skill and encouragement to each other that are a hallmark of Fullerton Athletics. The team even makes an effort to cheer at tennis matches, water polo games and the like. We are proud of our Fullerton High School Cheer and Song squads! Keep up the school spirit!
With its victory over Troy HS last week, the football team clinched 3rd place in the playoffs. Less that half of high school teams make the playoffs. It is truly an honor to accomplish this feat! On Friday, Nov. 2nd, the team traveled to Ventura College to battle Pacifica HS of Oxnard. Unfortunately, the Indians did not win the game, but our team performed well against a very tough opponent. The coaching staff is ready and has already put together a great off season program to prepare our team for next season.
The Girls Tennis team also made the playoffs, On Tuesday, Oct. 30, the girls traveled to Mayfield HS in Pasadena to take on the Cubs in a wild-card game. The Indians started slow, but in the 2nd and 3rd rounds they proved they deserved to be in the playoffs. The girls battled and dominated these rounds. We needed a game or two to turn in our favor, but it just didn't happen. The girls lost a close match 7-11.
Our final sport to look at is Cross Country. Our team has been building all season. So our program has been looking at each week for improvement. And that has happened. The Freeway League Cross Country finals were held at Clark Park on Oct. 31st. The runners did improve once again! Many runners achieved their "PR". Our best finisher was junior, Presli Dillon. She improved her place in the league standings and ended in 5th place-which qualifies her to participate in the CIF Cross Country Individual Playoff Meet on Saturday, Nov. 10. Go Presli!
We will now transition from fall to winter sports. We look forward to watching our teams compete, giving our all to achieve our fullest potential! Good luck to all of our winter season teams!
