El Segundo, Banning, LB Wilson, and San Pedro are on the other side. If you enjoy good softball this is one of the premiere and well run tournaments you can attend.

Genevieve Johnson led off with a great leg which set the tempo for the rest of the team. Catherine Walz took the baton in stride and followed with one of her best showings all season. Sydney Wilbanks ran the third leg and kept the pace strong to setup Kendall Brooks. Brooks got out extremely quick and finished strong and just like that the girls set a new school record.
