Berg, McCasland Rise up Record Board as Cougars Remain Unbeaten in League
Thomas Berg (26) and Jasmine McCasland (27) each earned a pair of sprint victories and a long jump win to help their respective varsity squads dominate a short-handed Clayton Valley team on Wednesday, March 20. While Berg moved up the 200m and long jump school record list, McCasland did the same in the 100m and 200m.
Each of the Campolindo squads improved to 3-0 on the season with lopsided point totals.
Hosted by the Eagles, the meet enjoyed blue sky, temperatures in the low 70s, and an unusually mild headwind down the homestretch.
Top improvements came from Lucas Katz (26) in the frosh soph boys' discus, where he added 15 feet to his best throw, and the varsity girls' long jump, where Delaney Joyce (24) and Sofia Ahrens (25) leaped to career marks.

4x800 Relay Sets Dublin Fiesta Record; Girls Double back to Dominate 3200m
The Campolindo distance runners traveled to Dublin High School on Friday, March 15, hoping to capitalize on the momentum generated just 2 days earlier when they posted jaw-dropping marks in their dual meet against Northgate. The Cougars put their "A" team on the girls' 4x800 relay starting line sporting new uniforms to face the rest of the best in California.
How much the new attire contributed to their success is debateable. What's clear is that the girls' distance squad is on fire. Anchored by another sensational effort from Shea Volkmer (24), who split 2:14.7 to clinch the relay victory, the senior quartet that includes Daisy Penney (24), Kate Kabenina (24), and Rachel Moen (24) crushed the previous meet standard by nearly 20 seconds. Their 9:31.93 winning time is also now 3rd on the school record list.

While a mild head wind down the homestretch persisted for most of the meet, the conditions at Northgate High School for the Cougars 2nd DAL competition of the year were much improved from the rain-soaked prior week.
The meet began with fireworks in the varsity girls' 1600m race where Shea Volkmer (24) managed to lap runners en route to a sensational 4:49.70 clocking that vaults her to the top of the state leader board. The mark is also now the 3rd fastest in school history.
