SHS 2022 Fall Sport Wrap Up

Congratulations to our 2022 SHP Fall sport teams and players as we end the season!
The SHP Boys Cross Country team earned a bid into the CCS Division IV Championship Meet after finishing 3rd, 4th, and 4th in the three WBAL League meets. The Gators finished 11th overall at the CCS Championships, led by Nick Karros and Arjun Singh, both of whom finished in the top 25. Karros also set a school record in the Boys 3 Miles, surpassing Daniel Hill’s record set back in 2014.

The SHP Girls Cross Country team competed in 8 races on the season, highlighted by a 4th place finish in the WBAL Championship Meet, qualifying them for the CCS Division IV Championship Meet. The Gators finished 4th, highlighted by Brown-commit Julia Soderbery and sophomore Sophie Cheung, who finished 3rd and 9th overall, earning them both spots in the State Championship Meet.

The SHP Football team completed one of its most successful seasons in program history, finishing 9-2 and winning it’s first league championship since 2015. The Gators went a perfect 5-0 in PAL - Bay Division play, highlighted by a 34-7 win in Valpo Bowl XX. The Gators advanced to the CCS Division 1 Tournament where they lost a last-second heartbreaker to Salinas, 28-21.

The SHP Girls Golf team’s 9 league wins were the program’s most in over a decade. The Gators won 9 of 11 matches to finish the season, ending with a 9-5 record in the ultra-competitive WBAL. The Girls’ best performance of the season came in a 225-229 win over cross-town rival Menlo in late September. Seniors Mischa Chaikovsky, Neha Lalia, and Emily Hallum each garnered All-League honors.

The SHP Girls Tennis team’s 16 wins were its most since 2016, and earned the Gators a trip to the CCS Team Championships where they fell to eventual CCS Champion Monta Vista 4-3 in the 2nd Round. Freshman Charlotte Weber, who played #1 singles for the Gators, also qualified for the CCS Individual Tournament. 

The SHP Girls Volleyball team finished a historic season 24-6 overall, claiming their first West Bay Athletic League-Foothill Division Championship since 2012, and their first outright WBAL title since 2011. Perhaps even more impressive was the fact that the Gators did so with an unblemished 10-0 record in league play. The Gators rattled off 17 straight wins to finish the regular season and made it all the way to the CCS Open Division Semifinal where they fell to Archbishop Mitty, the nation’s 17th ranked team. The Gators season ended with a loss to San Ramon Valley in the 1st Round of the NorCal Regional Open Division Tournament.

The SHP Boys Water Polo team won its 12th straight league championship, 11th straight CCS Championship, 5th straight CCS Open Division Championship, and 2nd straight NorCal Championship, finishing with a 25-7 overall record, and perfect 7-0 in WCAL play. The Boys defeated Bellarmine 12-9 and 16-4 to claim their WCAL and CCS Tournament Championships, and then went on to defeat Bellarmine 16-11 to win back-to-back NorCal titles for the first time in program history. The Gators finished the season as the country’s 4th ranked team according to MaxPreps.

The SHP Girls Water Polo team's overall record of 21-9 included a perfect 6-0 record in league which earned them their 11th straight league championship. After winning the WCAL tournament, the team made it all the way to the CCS Open Division Championship, where the Gators fell to Soquel, the nation’s 2nd ranked team. The season ended in the CIF Northern California Regional Quarterfinal in a 9-7 loss to Campolindo. The Gators finished the season as MaxPreps’ 8th ranked team in the Country.
