Congratulations to the Archbishop Mitty Athletic Program which was ranked #2 in the nation by MaxPreps.com.
"The Monarchs had possibly the top girls’ program in the country this year, finishing second in the MaxPreps/National Guard national volleyball rankings with a 42-1 record and No. 1 in the USA Today national softball rankings with a 32-0 mark. The volleyball team had two outstanding hitters in Rachel Williams (473 kills) and Kristina Graven (351) while defensive specialist Morgan O’Neill was selected to the MaxPreps Secret All-American volleyball team. Keilani Rickets has led the softball team, posting a 20-0 record with 269 strikeouts and seven no-hitters. She’s also batted .486 with eight home runs. The Monarchs were also solid again in girls basketball, winning a Central Section Division 3 championship with a 56-40 victory over Gunn. Mitty reached the NorCal semifinals before falling to Carondelet 76-73. Mitty was 22-9 overall. The girls tennis team also won a CCS title as did the swim team. Meanwhile the Mitty girls soccer team finished second in the CCS. The Mitty boys’ program had a solid season. The golf team won the only CCS title; however the basketball team and the baseball team, led by MLB draft pick Mitch Haniger, each advanced to the championship game of the division."
Congratulations to alumna Meera Ramakrishnan '09 who recently won the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation Scholarship for her writings and reflections about her civic experiences.
Congratulations to alumnus Mitch Haniger '09 who was selected in the 30th round of the major league draft this month by the New York Mets. Mitch will be followed this summer while he plays in the San Luis Obispo Rattlers of the Summer Collegiate Baseball League, a summer league for current college players and occasionally incoming freshmen college players. Mitch will be evaluated by the Mets over the summer and possibly offered a contract prior to his enrollment in Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in the fall. Mitch could join Aaron Bates ('02), Robert Perry ('03), and Jason Codiroli ('05) as Monarchs currently playing professional baseball. This past season there were 16 Monarch alumni playing at some level of college baseball.
Congratulations to alumna Chelsea Stock '03 who debuted as Ariel in Disney's The Little Mermaid on Broadway June 2nd. If you are in the New York area, plan to catch a evening with Chelsea at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre.
