The Spring Sports Season is well underway. Take a look at last weeks matches.

ILS Track and Field:

The Track and Field team competed in the Big Blue Meet at Archbishop McCarthy on Saturday. Dominic Vidal placed third in shot put with a personal best of 42’ 1”, Jude Servius ran a personal best 23.66 in the 200 meter race placing 8th, and Isabella Sanchez threw a personal best 21 meters in the discus. ILS is back in action on Tuesday at Belen.

ILS Tennis:

Just a couple days after becoming a father, Coach Rydborn coached his troops to 2 wins this past week. The boys won 3 out of their 5 singles matches. The doubles pair of Jose Luis Lopez de Ayala and Gianmaro Punzo overcame a deficit and won their tiebreaker match 10-5 and delivered their first win of the season.

This past week Coach Rydborn had his first match as a dad and the boys and girls were able to deliver him 2 wins. The boys were able to win the 3 of the 5 singles matches, the wins coming from Jose Luis Lopez de Ayala and Gianmaro Punzo. The number 2 doubles pair fought hard for the win but weren’t able to quite reach the finish line meaning the score was tied 3-3 with one doubles match left. Jose Luis and Gianmarco fought back from a break down to win the final match 10-5 in the tiebreaker giving the boys a 4-3 win and the first of the season.

The girls swept all 5 singles marches last week. Mariana Naranjo, Gabi Vilar, Romina Gutierrez, Carmen Isusi and Isabel Rizk all came away with wins.

ILS Softball:

The ILS Softball team got their first win of the season in a 18-15 victory over Pace. Senior Jayleen Pereza led the Royal Lions, batting 3 for 5 and scoring 3 runs. Alexandra Tsotsos and Maia Medina both scored 3 runs. Senior Alex Rodriguez and Sophie Hidalgo both scored 2. Medina struck out five players last Tuesday.
