Wiseburn Da Vinci Baseball Upsets Carson Colts!

Wiseburn Da Vinci Baseball Hunts Down Big Win Over Carson

The Wiseburn Da Vinci Varsity baseball team showed their strength and determination with a electrifying 12-7 victory over Carson Varsity Colts.

Horton’s Grand Slam Ignites the Pack The Wolves struck first with Lonnie Jackson driving in an early run. The energy exploded in the sixth inning when Xavier Horton launched a grand slam, fueling an 11-run surge.

Relentless Offense James Mara followed with another grand slam, showcasing the team’s power at the plate. Horton, Mara, Beckett Miller, and Nathaniel Barba each collected two hits as the Wolves dominated offensively.

Lockdown Pitching and Defense Nathan Buendia set the tone on the mound, allowing just two runs over three and one-third innings with two strikeouts. Beckett Miller took over in relief, keeping Carson’s offense at bay. The Wolves’ defense was rock solid, committing zero errors, with Deklen Emmersen making nine crucial plays.

The Hunt Continues That’s two big wins in a row for WDV Varsity Baseball. With momentum on their side, Wiseburn Da Vinci is ready for their next challenge against Lawndale on Thursday.

WDV Track and Field Athletes are Breaking Records!

The hunt has begun, and our Wolfpack is growing stronger. This past month, our young wolves showed their teeth, proving that the future of Wiseburn Da Vinci Track & Field is dangerous and relentless.

Highlights from the Santa Monica All-Comers Meet

A New Alpha Emerges!
Freshman Jeannine Gandara made history, breaking WDV’s all-time 2-mile record and becoming the first freshman ever to hold the 2-mile all-time school record. Like a young wolf stepping into the lead, Jeannine ran with intensity, setting a new standard of how to hunt this track season. The pack always follows the strongest, and this rising star has shown she belongs among the elite!

Leaping Towards Greatness!
Dion Radcliff soared through the air, landing himself second all-time in WDV history for the long jump. With each explosive bound, he showed that our pack is built for power and precision. The hunt demands speed, strength, and fearlessness and Dion’s performance proves he has all three.

Lightning on the Track: A Relay School Record! The Girls’ 4×400 Relay Team: Olivia Griffin, Madison Griffin, Kailee Brown, and Gaia Fubelli blazed through their race, setting a new Wiseburn Da Vinci school record. These four vicious wolves ran with heart, focus, and the will to leave their mark in the history books. Their speed and teamwork were a true testament to the strength of the Pack.

Highlights from the Louis Zamperini Invitational

Old Alphas Lead the Charge!

Nathanael Lincourt stormed through the 1600m, breaking the school record and solidifying himself as one of the pack’s fiercest distance runners. But he wasn’t done yet—he and his fellow wolves weren’t just running races; they were rewriting history.

Wolfpack Relays – Strength in Numbers!

4x800m Relay Record Shattered! Nathanael Lincourt, Michael Woodhams, Ethan Lumpkin, and Damian Espino ran with relentless endurance, breaking the 4x800m school record and showing that when the pack runs together, nothing can stop them.

Sprint Medley Relay Record Falls!

Xavier Ross, Deon Radcliff Jr., George Loketi, and Jeffery Smith combined their speed and power to break the Sprint Medley Relay school record, proving that our sprinters are built for the chase.

Distance Medley Relay

The long-distance hunters weren’t done—Nathanael Lincourt, Michael Woodhams, Ethan Lumpkin, and Damian Espino teamed up once more to demolish the Distance Medley Relay record, showing that the endurance wolves of Wiseburn Da Vinci are relentless.

The Future is Scary!

Jeannine Gandara continues her historic freshman campaign, taking down yet another record—this time in the 1-mile race. With every step, she redefines what’s possible for our pack.

Blazing Speed from Our She-Wolves!

4x200m Relay Record Broken! The powerful squad of Mia Watts, Courtnie Tracey, Alana Frelow, and Olivia Griffin tore through the track, setting a new 4x200m school record and proving that our pack is built for speed.

Sprint Medley Relay Record Falls Again!

Not to be outdone, Gaia Fubelli, Kailee Brown, Jasmine Veal, and Olivia Griffin crushed the Sprint Medley Relay record and dominated the 4×100, showcasing their explosive speed and teamwork.

Jeannine Gandara, Sadie Owens, Sophie Owens, and Dayanara Duenas also ran a dominant race, pushing our pack forward with fearless determination.

Pure Domination from Our Fresh/Soph Wolves!

Aaliyah Welch, Amazyn East, Berlyn Gutierrez, and Madison Griffin left no doubt that the future of Wiseburn Da Vinci Track & Field is lethal, completing a clean sweep of the 4×100, Sprint Medley, and 4×200 relays! These young wolves owned every race they entered, proving that the next generation of the pack was already on the hunt.

More Wolves on the Podium!

Bryan Gomez, Brogan Arechiga, Chris Hernandez, and Julian Soto – 2nd place Distance Medley Relay

Arshad Muhammad – 3rd place High Jump

Chris Hernandez – 3rd place 1600m

As always Peace, Love, and Track Meets!

Head Coach – Christopher A. Jackson
