CABINET LETTER FROM LEO LOPOZ

Dear Spartan Nation,
Happy New Year, and welcome back to Winton Drive! As January gets underway, we want to take a moment to celebrate the accomplishments of our fall and winter sports programs. Our athletes had many incredible achievements in the first semester—both individually and, more importantly, as teams. Their efforts continue to make our entire athletic program stand out as one of the best in the nation. Our fall sports (cross country, football, and water polo) resulted in two league championships, two North Coast Section championships, and a second-place state finish for football. Congratulations to these student-athletes and coaches on their success! It is also important to note that all our fall teams finished with a 3.0 or higher combined team GPA.
