Each week we will recognize one are male and female athlete for their performances. This weeks' are:

GILROY—Christopher’s Erin Mank was a crucial part of her team’s success this season and the Mission Trail Athletic League took notice.

SAN JOSE—“It was a battle,” Gilroy coach Adam Gemar said to an emotional Mustangs team following its semifinal match with Archbishop Mitty. “I wish we could’ve gone a couple more days.”

GILROY—It’s not everyday that Gilroy High alumni are asked to pose for photos and sign autographs. It’s not everyday that an alum is a two-time NCAA Division I wrestling champion either.

This Thanksgiving, Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero wants to give back to the community that has given him so much.

GILROY—The family that wrestles together, stays together.

GILROY—Over the last four years Tayler Silacci has been earning her stripes. The Gilroy High senior has spent countless mornings getting up before sunrise and has travelled across the country attending camps and tournaments all to earn a field hockey scholarship.

GILROY—Lauren Castro’s softball career almost ended before it ever really began. The Gilroy High senior quit her first year of tee-ball, intimidated by crowds and attention. But thankfully for Castro, her parents convinced her to give it one more try and this time, she fell in love.

SALINAS—The last time Kaylah Grant ran at Toro Park, she took a wrong turn, adding minutes to her time.
