Junior Jarrett Carter set a school record in the 400-meter run with a time of 50.32 in the track team's first meet, held at La Quinta last week.
Carter also competes in the 200, 4x100 relay and 4x400 relay.
"The 4x400 is my favorite," he said. "It hurts a lot doing the 400, though. You have all the lactic gasses built up in you. You can't just quit on it. You have to keep going."
Carter also competes in cross country in the fall, but he prefers sprints during track season.
"Cross country is more like duration running, keeping a pace," he said. "Sprints is more like explosive running."
Shawn Dreese is captain of the boys volleyball team. A senior in his second year of volleyball, the outside hitter carries a lot of responsibility as the team leader.
"Shawn has done a great job, both in the classroom and on the court," said his coach, Lindsey Sappington. "He is our kill leader."
Dreese plans to go into the Air Force after graduation.
Junior Andrew Lundstrom plays center field and second base for the Patriots baseball team, which is in tournament action to open the season.
"I think we're doing really well," said Lundstrom, who is in his first year on the varsity team. "The teams we're playing are really good."
Lundstrom had no trouble identifying his biggest challenge as a ballplayer.
"Hitting," he said. "It's hardest to keep that consistent."
