Saratoga High School Athletes Win Awards

The Central Coast Section of the California Interscholastic Federation has presented awards to Saratoga High School's boys cross country, boys water polo and girls tennis teams.

The teams received the 2012-13 fall season Scholastic Championship Team awards, which were instituted by the CCS Board of Managers in 1985.

The accolades recognize the top five varsity teams, from each Central Coast Section sport, with the highest collective grade-point average of all teams competing in that sport during that season of competition.

SHS' collective GPA for the boys cross country team was 3.6272, for the girls tennis team was 3.6809 and for boys water polo team was 3.4354.

"The student-athletes involved have achieved distinction in the classroom, and at the same time, have committed themselves to participation in interscholastic athletics," the CCS said in a written press release.
