They […]

Girls Athletes of the Week: The Claremont girls tennis program has dominated the Palomares League for quite some time.

Girls Athlete of the Week: The confidence that one garners from taking an early lead in the CIF-SS playoffs is one thing.

The Fighting Lancers got […]
Girls Athlete of the Week: Glendora senior Bridget Nemeth put the Tartans program on her shoulders, as she’s done for most of 2023.
