A great team effort to cap off the season.

 

Softball: The softball team dropped their games this week against some tough opponents. They look to bounce back this week with some key conference match ups.

 

Track: Belen Home Meet #3 was a thrilling showdown, giving the Royal Lions the perfect opportunity to sharpen their skills before the final meet of the regular season! The competition was fierce, and our athletes rose to the challenge, delivering dominant performances across the board.

On the boys’ side, Dorian Mallary, Kennedy Garay, and Daniel Brito put on a show, each claiming first place in at least one of their events. Their speed, strength, and determination set the tone for the team’s success!

The girls’ team was on fire! Leading the charge were Arianna Armas, Nahia Riveros, Peilin Aguilar-Hou, Luna Fernandez, and Candy Cruz, all securing first-place finishes in their events. The girls’ 4x100m relay squad—featuring Krystal Inhoof, Nahia Riveros, Arantxa Santacana, and Abrielle Meyer—blazed around the track to win their event in style!

With momentum on their side, the Royal Lions are gearing up for their final test of the regular season this Saturday at the Fr. Luis Ripoll S.J. Relays, kicking off at 8:30 AM at Belen. Get ready for another electrifying performance!

Let’s finish strong, Royal Lions!

 

Tennis: On Wednesday, the girl’s tennis team played their reverse fixture against St Brendan. With a depleted team, everyone had to step up and play out of their position that day. Things did not go as planned and even though there was a high level of tennis, the girls couldn’t produce the same result they did in the home fixture. Notable performance consist of Gabriella Punzo getting a win the number 1 spot 8-2 as well as Juliana Hawley and Agatha Morrsion getting a win the doubles 1 spot 8-6.

On Friday, the boys’ and girls’ tennis team played host to Key West. With most seniors deciding to take the day off, another depleted team took on the challenge with most players playing out of their positions. Fortunately, those who did show up did a fantastic job and were able to get wins on both sides. Key wings came from Gabriella Punzo, who continues to have a great season, with an 8-3 win at the number 2 spot, and a great comeback win from Samatha Spetko in the number 3 spot, who after being 3-0 down, came back to win 8-6. On the boy’s side Alvaro Castro got a great win at the number 2 spot 8-6, and Nicolo Daulong got a vital tiebreak victory at the number 3 spot 9-8(10-6). Being a district team, this was a great win for the team in relation to the district seeing.

This week the tennis team have a busy schedule with 3 back-to-back games. Gulliver on Wednesday, Ransom on Thursday and Key West on Friday.
