2013 was another exceptional year for PVHS Track & Field. Many varsity and frosh-soph school records were shattered and many individuals advanced deep into the post-season. The Sea Kings will be looking for more of the same success in 2014.
Distance superstar seniors Casey Celestin and Miles Irish will lead the way for the boys, and watch for a rising Sea King presence in the sprints as senior Zach Sledge looks to be a force in the 200m and 400m. For the girls, senior Maile Davis returns for the PVHS Hurdle Nation as one of the top hurdlers in the Bay League, multi-event threat Cate Ryant will look to break through and prove she is one of the most talented track athletes PVHS has ever seen, and distance aces Cassidy Webber, Anna Pruter, and many others will continue PVHS' legendary reputation for girls distance running.
Both the boys and girls teams will be very dangerous dual meet matchups for anyone and look to finish among the top ten teams in CIF-SS Div. III, with numerous individuals realistically expecting to advance to CIF-SS Div. III Finals and beyond. 2014 will undoubtedly be an exciting and successful year for PVHS Track and Field, and we hope you will join us.
