The final Unified basketball game was against Rancho San Juan on Tuesday, April 29. According to Athletic Director Jose Gil, this program shines a light on students who can be considered “different” and puts them in a position where they can feel included. “I think it's my funnest time of the year," Gil said. "These kids will spin with the ball, run with the ball, you know…everything goes, and it's their show.”

At the 44th Annual Woodbridge Cross Country Classic, senior Fernando Herrera made history by finishing in 14:45. This was the first time any Alisal athlete broke 15 minutes in cross country.. “Breaking 15 was great to be able to break a school record,” Herrera said. “I had an amazing race, hitting all my splits and staying in the top 5 in a big race. Being the first athlete to break 15 means a lot to me since I’m the only one to break it and be able to give the pathway for other Alisal athletes to aim to break it. Now they know anything is possible.”
