Immaculate Heart Clinches Sunshine League Titles in Swimming and Track & Field

Immaculate Heart’s spring sports teams ended their seasons on a winning note as Sunshine League champions in swimming as well as track and field.

Immaculate Heart’s Varsity and Junior Varsity Swim Teams each won first place in the Sunshine League on Friday, May 6th, at the Rose Bowl Aquatic Center. Guided by Coach Melissa Gates, the two IH teams earned their league titles after defeating high school rivals at Marlborough, Marymount and Notre Dame Academy.

Senior Meghan Go proved instrumental in leading Immaculate Heart to victory. During the championship event, Go broke two more league records that she had

previously set last year. A member of Immaculate Heart’s Varsity Team for the past four years, Go has dominated in the league by winning each of her individual swim events. She has also set records in relay races with IH teammates Olivia Shaw, Oona Holahan and Mia Speier.

Immaculate Heart’s Track & Field Team also capped its winning season by clinching the Sunshine League Championship at Occidental College. Coached by Florence Edi and Brandon Sanborn, the IH team won every league meet this season for a perfect 8-0 record. During the April 28th league finals, Immaculate Heart earned a winning score of 114.50. Its closest competitor, Marlborough, tallied 69 points, followed by Notre Dame Academy with 52, Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy with 41, and Louisville with 35.50.

This has been a banner year for Immaculate Heart sports. Last fall, the school’s Varsity Tennis and Varsity Cross-Country Teams each won Sunshine League Championships. “It has been an incredibly successful year for IH,” said Athletic Director Maureen Rodriguez. “I am so grateful to our amazing athletes and dedicated coaches who have put in so many hours of hard work. Go Heart!”
