SHP boys capture CCS tennis championship
The Sacred Heart Prep boys' tennis team wasn't going to let this one get away, not like last season. The seniors had made a promise and they kept it -- losing to Saratoga in the Central Coast Section championship match was not an option.

M-A swim teams sweep PAL league meet finals
Winning the dual-meet title during the regular season is one thing, but the real test of any swim team is to back up that success in the league championships. The Menlo-Atherton boys and girls did just that on Saturday at Burlingame High.

Stanford's water polo title hopes end
There wasn't much the Stanford women's water polo team could have done. The Cardinal was working hard and outshot USC. On this day, though, the Women of Troy had a better goalie and were shooting the ball better than at any time during the regular season.

Stanford women advance in NCAA tennis
Freshman Hilary Barte spent more time on the court rooting for teammates than hitting tennis balls. Freshman Carolyn McVeigh didn't get much of a chance to root for anybody. Barte, in essence, took the short road and McVeigh took the long way and they'll keep traveling to Tulsa for the Round of 16 at the NCAA women's tennis team championships beginning Thursday.

Local water polo standouts return for NCAAs
Megan Burmeister remembers crying after her first ever water polo workout at Avery Aquatic Center with the Stanford club team. These days, Burmeister is smiling a lot. The UCLA freshman returns to Stanford in glory. The top-ranked Bruins are undefeated and going for a fourth straight national title.

Menlo girls finish off perfect year in PAL lacrosse
It was all about offense this season for the Menlo School girls' lacrosse team. The Knights were simply off the charts when it came to scoring. Thus, the Knights' 12-8 victory over Leland in the Peninsula Athletic League championship match on Saturday at Menlo-Atherton High came as no real surprise.

Paly swim teams defend league meet titles
The Palo Alto boys and girls, as expected, successfully defended their SCVAL De Anza Division meet championship titles on Friday at Lynbrook High in San Jose, but it wasn't easy.

Menlo tennis coach receives state-wide award
When the Menlo School boys' tennis team won the 2007 Central Coast Section and Northern California titles, the players did more than bring home two trophies for the school's trophy case. The Knights' 24-3 season a year ago, topped by the two postseason titles, helped veteran coach Bill Shine win the California Coaches Association Boys Tennis Coach of the Year award.
