While many schools in the district don't have a newspaper, Alisal has had a one for most of the school's existence. Mr. Battaglini's 6th period class (pictured) has 31 of the 50 staff members.

Junior Jazlene Meza traveled back east to visit Washington, D.C., New York City, and 6 Ivy League schools as part of the Ivy League Project. "Visiting Ivy League campuses across the country was something I never imagined doing, and I’m really grateful, it pushed me out of my comfort zone,” she said.

Right before a track meet against Salinas high, Student Athletic trainers Rebecca Jimenez and Kristine Saldo tape the ankles of junior Angel Perez and sophomore Flor Amaya to prepare them for their meet. “It's pretty difficult to do the work and if the patient isn't cooperating as well. It’s also harder when they’re more hurt because they tend to be more sensitive when taping, but the process of the taping is to allow them to feel comfort and support on their ankle,” Jimenez said.
Student trainers provide vital support for athletes
Like many other schools, Alisal recognizes coaches who have done a lot for the school and has a wall of fame for them. Without any update in 20 years, Athletic Director Jose Gil is looking to form a committee consisting of 2 members of the wall of fame, an administrator, 2 veteran teachers, and a student, to honor past coaches..

Student trainers provide vital support for athletes
Although being a student athlete can be stressful when it comes to balancing school, sports, and work, it can be a rewarding experience. Senior Jonathan Murillo Carillo managed to balance all three when he tried out wrestling for the first time this year. “ “When it comes to family events during the week I needed to sacrifice that because of volleyball games or wrestling meets to be there for the team,” Murillo said. “The only regret I have is not joining the sport sooner. I met so many awesome people and am sad it’s all coming to an end.”
Being an athlete means more than just playing a game
At the K-Bell Invitational, junior Fernando Herrera ran the 3200m. Herrera placed 7th with 9:40.39 minutes. “Munoz and I have been talking about that this year I was going to try for that two mile,” Herrera said. “The goal for that race was to hit 9:40, which is exactly what I hit. This was a 16 second PR from last season. I got the sixth fastest time in school history.”
Growing pains
Overcoming both physical and mental hurdles, junior Marley Llamas runs 22.01 seconds in the 100m hurdles against North Salinas. “It was a tough race but I was able to push through it,” she said.

At the MESA competition, the judges drop a weighted ball on my moon base. This was the fourth, and final, drop. While I didn't place, I did better than the previous year.

Blurring the line
This is one of my stair master sessions. It took me an hour to complete it, and after that, I followed it with a walk on a treadmill. It’s an exercise I’ve been able to follow through with that has worked for me.
