Sophomore Varsity swimmer Justin Tsai stated that “This year was my second year as a varsity swimmer on the Dublin High swim team. Although this year the boy’s varsity meet record worsened, the team as a whole improved. Our JV boys went almost undefeated for the season and Dublin High had its first relay team make the CIF State meet. Not only did our swimmers improve their times, but also attendance at practices increased greatly. Many of our previous high school individual and relay records were shattered this year as well. We are a young team as the majority of the swimmers are underclassmen, so next year we are looking to improve our meet record and hopefully host some home meets.” The girls’ varsity team ended with the record of 3-4 and the junior varsity team ended with the record of 1-6. Sophomore varsity swimmer Claire Suen stated “The team came together this year and we had so much fun competing against the other schools. I think everyone did incredibly well and I hope everyone who swam this year joins the team again next year!”

Following their success in the 2017 season, The Coed Track and Field team had another great season. The team dominated at several major meets such as the Skyline Invitational, Dan Gabor Sprint and Distance Festival, EBAL Center Meet, Dublin Distance Fiesta, Bronco Roundup Distance Carnival, Oakland Invitational Relays, EBAL Meet vs Foothill, Stanford Invitational, Arcadia Invitational, Granada Sprint and Distance Festival, EBAL vs. Granada, Northern California Frosh/Soph Championships, Sacramento Meet of Champions, Clash of the Titans, EBAL Championship Finals, North Coast Section Tri-Valley Championships, and North Coast Section Meet of Champions. In addition, the girls’ team made history this year as they became EBAL Champions and NCSTV Champions. Junior Varsity Runner Loic Scomparin stated “I would define the team as a second family- we all care for each other and support each other. Track and field is mostly a sport where you compete individually, but you are in a team with like-minded people who enjoy working hard. The team had amazing accomplishments this year with the girls’ team winning the EBAL and NCS championships, and the boys winning in the 1600 meters relay at the Arcadia Invitational. However, in my opinion, the biggest impact the team has had on me is through shaping me a person by developing new friendships and qualities like discipline and perseverance. I’m doing cross country next year and I would like to go for some school records, both individually and as a team, especially winning the state championships.” With an important meet in the way, the CIF Track and Field States Championship, hopefully, the Track and Field Team can continue with their success and RUN off with it.
