and Castilleja perhaps have different paths to the CCS Tournament that will be held Oct. 30 at Rancho Canada (East Course) in Carmel Valley. Despite winning the Blossom Valley Athletic League (Santa Teresa Division) regular-season title with a 10-0 mark, Gunn (13-1) still has to win the BVAL Tournament next Wednesday at Santa Teresa Golf Course to reach CCS. Gunn, in only its first season of existence, wrapped up its first regular title with a 204-299 win over host Sobrato at Coyote Creek Golf Course in San Jose. Anna Zhou, who aced a 279yard, par-4 on Monday at Santa Clara Golf & Tennis Club for a rare double-eagle and finished with a 2-under 34, joined with Tiffany Yang on Wednesday to shoot 1-over 35s. Jayshree Sarathy finished with a 38. Lianna McFarlane (44) and Sandrea Herchen (50) rounded out the scoring for Gunn, which next season will move closer to home for its own league — the SCVAL. Castilleja (9-0, 10-0), meanwhile, remained unbeaten and clinched its sixth straight West Bay Athletic League (Foothill Division) title with a 216-230 win over Sacred Heart Prep at Palo Alto Hills Golf & Country Club on Wednesday. Caroline Debs (40), Taylor Wilkerson (44), Ellie Zales (46) and Nicole Mitchell (47) rounded out the scoring for Castilleja, which concludes round-robin play on Friday at Los Lagos GC against host Harker before joining Sacred Heart Prep in the WBAL Tournament at Poplar Creek GC in San Mateo next Wednesday. Castilleja defeated Harker on Monday, 219-252, at Palo Alto Muni.

Cross country The Palo Alto girls didn’t have any runners among the top 10, but still finished second at the SCVAL Preview No. 2 meet on Tuesday over a 3.1-mile layout at Sunnyvale’s Baylands Park. The Vikings scored 89 points while trailing only Monta Vista (73). Nora Rosati led Paly with a 12th-place finish of 20:38. Katie Foug (15th, 20:43.1), Chika Kasahara (16th, 20:43.6), Audrey DeBruine (20th, 21:18) and Emma Ramey (26th, 21:25) rounded out the Vikings’ scoring. The Gunn girls, still missing junior standout Sarah Robinson, finished fifth in the team scoring and were led by Gillian Meeks. She took sixth in 20:12. Robinson has run in one one meet this season due to a medical condition and first-year coach Craig Blockhus is unsure if Robinson will run again this season. Girls’ tennis Gunn’s run toward perfection in the SCVAL El Camino Division ended on Wednesday in a 4-3 loss to host Homestead. The match originally was scheduled for next week. The loss dropped the Titans to 10-1 in the division (12-8 overall) and into a tie for first place with the

Mustangs (10-1, 12-5). Each team has one match remaining and both are expected to win, thus setting up a playoff for the title — possibly on Oct. 29 at Fremont High. Gunn managed just one win in singles, by Lucy Oyer at No. 3, and thus needed to sweep the doubles. The Mustangs, however, picked up a win at No. 1 doubles over Gunn’s Ebba Nord and Devyani Bhadkamkar, 6-4, 7-5, to pull out the victory. In the WBAL Skyline Division, Castilleja maintained its hold on first place following a 6-1 victory over host King’s Academy at the Sunnyvale Municipal Tennis Center. Paulette Wolak, Julia McKay and Celeste Wolyshen all won in doubles to lead the Gators (5-0, 5-3). On Tuesday, Menlo-Atherton avenged a first-round loss to Carlmont on its own courts by handing the host Scots a 4-3 loss on their courts, forcing a two-way tie for first place in the PAL Bay Division race. Carlmont and M-A are both 11-1 in league. Perhaps the most crucial match for the Bears (13-5 overall) came at No. 1 singles where M-A’s Samantha Andrew upset Cori Sidell, 6-3,
6-3. Sidell is considered the No. 1 singles player in the league. In the SCVAL De Anza Division, Palo Alto won its third straight match and avenged an earlier loss to Los Altos with a 4-3 triumph on the Eagles’ courts. Junior standout Ashlii Budhiraja posted a 6-4, 6-1 win at No. 1 singles for the Vikings (4-5, 13-7) while senior Tiffany Nguyen and junior Julianne Le teamed for a 7-5, 7-6 (7-3) win at No. 1 doubles. On Monday, Menlo School moved closer to winning its 19th straight league title following a 7-0 blanking of visiting Notre Dame-San Jose in WBALeague (Foothill Division). The Knights (7-0, 12-7) improved to 195-0 in league dual matches since 1994. Girls’ water polo Jenna Swartz, Sophia Caryotakis and Jessica Heilman all scored three goals to pace host Menlo-Atherton to a 17-3 dunking of visiting Carlmont on Wednesday. The victory, coupled with previously unbeaten Castilleja’s loss to Burlingame, moved the Bears (3-0, 10-6) into sole possession of first place in the PAL Bay Division race.
