At CCS, both Coach Zavala and Coach Cabrera guided their wrestlers to victory. “CCS Regionals went really well," Cabrera said. "We had many athletes qualify to Masters and we were excited to see four athletes in the regional finals! CCS is always intimidating and challenging so it was wonderful to see our athletes go out and face the challenge.” The team sent 3 wrestlers to State - Briana Ochoa, Areli Rodriguez, and Fabian Martinez.
Growing pains and gains
Damian Ramos-Gomez, Jason Majano, Kevin Majano, (Back Row) Marisol Botello, Bethany Vargas, Luis Ante, Dannadely Juarez, Diego Ortega, all became champions of the NPS Design Challenge on December 13th. They built a biofoul-cleaning robot (barnacles, algae, seaweed) cleaning robot, to help military battleships glide through the water more efficiently. “Winning the NPS design challenge had a profound effect on me because it was the first thing I accomplished this year,” Vargas said.

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.
Hoping to rise to the challenge
Once fearing the 100 fly, Leonardo Mariscal stepped up when his senior teammate graduated. “I can’t do it easy, but I’m better than I was before. That’s basically what got me into the 100 fly, making it my favorite event because it allows me to challenge myself,” he said.
Making waves
On the 2nd hole at Fairway Golf Course against Alvarez, senior Jeremiah Baloca makes par with this putt.
Driven to perform
In a preseason matchup against Palma, middle blocker Lawrence Escobedo gets a kill. The Trojans defeated the Chieftains 3-0, going 6-3 in preseason, and are currently in first place in league at 2-0.

Learning to manage my time
On my second trip to Mexico, I experienced the grueling work on the ranch. As my cousins gathered the sugar cane from the field, I had to jump on the piles to flatten them.
Learning to live in the moment
Brain Rot? Nah, "Cooked" should be the word of the year

My style is something I take a lot of pride in, and it takes a lot of self confidence to put myself out there with the fashion statement I make.
