Healdsburg High School students had the week off for spring break, and while that slowed down the sports calendar for the time being, things should pick up next week, as games stack up two and three times a week into May.

Jake McWilliams’s dream came true as he qualified for the State Championship next Saturday in Fresno.  Lucas Welty, a freshman, was only two places away from also making it. The boys finished seventh overall in the North Coast Division 5, the top public school in the rankings.

With the surprise addition of 10 new freshmen runners, the Healdsburg Hounds hope to boost their chances to make league cross country champs. And although that might depend on the good health of their veteran runners, one can’t deny the fresh energy these freshmen bring to the team.

The varsity baseball Eagles logged their first win of the spring campaign on March 5, notching an 8-4 win over visiting Healdsburg.  

Great weather and outstanding performances were the rule on Saturday, Apr. 5 as the Running Eagles traveled to Sebastopol for the annual Chip Castleberry Invitational Track Meet hosted by Analy.
