“We have all worked extremely hard from this meet,” freshman Andrew Jauregui said. “Districts has been in all of our minds for this whole season, and every practice has been for this meet.”

Competing against 9 different district teams, both boys and girls are pushing for a spot at regionals.

“The goal of districts is to prove how hard we have worked all season,” Jauregui said. “Along with this, all our teams are hoping to get a low enough score to get us to regionals.”
