Spring Athletics Recap

The spring season for Marlborough Athletics was nothing short of a historic one as our teams enjoyed podium-finishes, and set some school records in the process. Overall, a total of 171 students participated across 8 teams in Beach Volleyball, Equestrian, Golf, Lacrosse, Swimming, and Track and Field. Our athletes and coaches were able to celebrate their many triumphs at the Spring Athletic Recognition Ceremony on May 12, 2022.

 

The Varsity Lacrosse team finished their season with a 5-1 league record (17-2 overall record) and were named Mission League Champions. In just the 2nd year that CIF-SS has hosted a girls’ lacrosse tournament, the Marlborough Varsity Lacrosse advanced to the title game and defeated Mira Costa High School to claim the Division 3 CIF-SS Championship title.

 

Varsity Beach Volleyball enjoyed their first year as an official Mission League sport. The team practiced at Will Rogers State Beach, making the trip from school two times per week. Their hard work paid off and these student-athletes went entirely undefeated by their competitors, making the Mustangs the 2022 Mission League Beach Volleyball champions.

 

Varsity Swimming went undefeated this season and were named the Sunshine League Champs. The team went on to compete in CIF-SS Preliminaries on Wednesday, May 4th at the Marguerite Aquatics Complex in Mission Viejo, with six swimmers (Kailyn S. ’25, Allie K. ’24, Chloe K. ’24, Stella V. ’23, Nora B. ’22, Lara V. ’22) advancing to the CIF-SS Finals.

 

In the CIF-SS Division Finals, Varsity Track & Field had a strong showing as they wrapped up an impressive season overall.
