Christopher High School

Each week we recognize one area male and female athlete for their performance on the field of play. This week's are:

GILROY—Just a few short weeks ago, the tracks at Christopher and Gilroy high schools were buzzing with athletes. On Tuesday, all that remained were four Cougars and one Mustang, as only five survived the Central Coast Section Semifinals on May 23.

SALINAS—Six Gilroyans earned their place on the 2015 Monterey Bay League Boys Volleyball All-League Teams.

GILROY—The Cougars were red-hot heading into Wednesday’s Central Coast Section Division I playoff game and were riding a four-game winning streaking. But unfortunately for Christopher, its ride ran out of gas.

Each week we recognize one area male and female athlete for their performance on the field of play. This week's are:

HOLLISTER—As Tania Sauer made her way around the track at San Benito High School, special education students called out for her with smiles beaming across their faces.

GILROY—Cougar athletes Haley Romero, Jordan Rodriguez and Vanessa Koontz are starting to peak and they couldn’t do it at a better time.

SANTA CLARA—Christopher High diver Anthony Lopez is light-years ahead of where he was three years ago. As a freshman, the Cougar finished 27th at the Central Coast Section Swim and Dive Championships. This year, the Cougar contorted his body in impossible ways to take his place among the section’s best with a ninth place finish.

The Gilroy and Christopher gymnastics team stole the spotlight at league finals.

Christopher ended the regular season on a high note, beating Monterey 7-5 Thursday at home.
