Our Athletes of the Week are the Castro Valley High School Varsity Girls’ Cross Country Team. The Trojans won their second consecutive 1st Place victory at this year’s Mt. Sac Cross Country Invitational in Walnut, California on October 26. 

“This marks an unprecedented achievement for the team and a testament to their hard work, dedication, and exceptional talent,” said Castro Valley Sports Foundation president Rachel Lunt. “They have raised the bar for future generations of athletes and have brought pride and recognition to our school and local community.”

Castro Valey faced fierce competition from some of the top teams in the region, but they remained focused and determined throughout the race. Runners Anna Dughi, Abigail Choy, Iliana Nierengarten, Hannah Murry, Maya Dughi, Tejal Bajwa and Maria (Masha) Kryuchkova were acknowledged for their individual and team contributions to this historic achievement.
