WDV Monthly Athletics Update

As we settle into the new school year, we are thrilled to share some fantastic updates from our WDV Athletics program. The excitement on our campuses has been palpable as our fall sports teams hit the ground running and our winter sports begin their preparations for the season ahead.

Fall Sports in Full Swing
We are pleased to report that our fall sports of Girls Volleyball, Cross Country, Boys Beach Volleyball and Cheer are in full swing. The energy and enthusiasm from our student-athletes have been inspiring, and we are proud of the commitment and effort demonstrated across the board. We are eager to see their hard work translate into success in competition.

Team Highlights
Our Girls Volleyball team has kicked off their season with some formidable performances, boasting a record of 3-3 in league play (varsity). We have had six league games, in which the two matches against West and North Torrance were both nail biters, five sets each, all down to the wire WINS. Their hard work and teamwork are truly paying off, and we are excited to see how they continue to develop throughout the season. Good luck to our Girls Volleyball teams!

The Cross Country team has already made an impressive debut with their first meet of the year at the Laguna Hills Cross Country Invitational. Senior Nathanael Lincourt came in 12th out of 90 in the Division 3 Senior boys group and Freshman Jeannine Gandara finished 17th out of 74 in the Division 3 Freshman girls group. All the runners are making great strides, and their dedication is evident in their performance. October is an important month for cross country as they have five meets to prepare for. We are confident that their perseverance will lead to a continued successful season. Go Wolves!

Boys Beach Volleyball is wrapping up their season with a second place finish in league and are headed to the playoff FINALS happening 10/4! They have worked hard this week in playoffs competition and have successfully routed their opponents. Their final match is on 10/4 @ 4:00pm at Annenberg Beach House, go out and support them if you can! Congratulations gentlemen and good luck!

As always, thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm for our WDV Athletics program. The collective effort of our athletes, coaches, and community makes our program thrive. We look forward to an exciting year ahead and encourage everyone to come out and support our teams.
