Boys golf continues its winning ways; runners and swimmers push school records

Boys Golf

It was a good week for the boys golf team! The Eagles started the week with a second place finish at the Marin Catholic Wildcat Invitational. It was Harker’s best-ever finish at the event, just three strokes behind the overall winner. The best individual Harker finisher was Daulet Tuleubayev, grade 11, in fourth place. Later in the week, the Eagles defeated Menlo 191-210, with a trio of Eagles finishing with the three best scores of the day. Tuleubayev led all golfers shooting a 35, with Jin Kim, grade 11, just one stroke behind and Ryan Vaughan, grade 12, shooting a 38. To finish off the week, Harker defeated Sacred Heart Prep 193-215. The Eagles once again finished 1-2-3 in scoring, with Victor Shin, grade 11, shooting a 36, Vaughan shooting a 37 and Tuleubayev tying for third with a 39. The Eagles take this winning momentum to Southern California as they compete in the Champions Invitational this weekend.

Guo joins Grace Koonmen, grade 11, among the top four all-time finishers in the Harker 400m. Koonmen’s 200m time put her second on the Harker all-time list. Angel Cervantes, grade 11, ran personal bests in his 100m and 200m races, and Rishi Chopra, grade 11, ran a season best in the 800m, moving in to the Harker top 10 all time.
