➝ Llagas Creek, 14

Robert Eliason

It’s a sight that’s familiar to Morgan Hill residents— a heavy rain that causes Llagas Creek to rise, threatening to fill downtown streets with muddy creek water, and flood homes and businesses. After 50 years of planning and wishful thinking, the Santa Clara Valley Water District—now officially Valley Water— is finally ready to break ground on the Llagas Creek flood protection project. A 15-year long parcel tax, the Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program, was passed in 2012 and helped fund the Llagas project. The total cost of the project is about $184 million. The funding comes from the following sources, according to district staff: $54.4 million from the parcel tax, $3 million provided from the City of Morgan Hill, $17.3 million from the district’s Clean, Safe Creeks and Natural Flood Protection Fund, $37.1 million from the Safe Clean Water Fund, $32 million from the California Department of Water Resources State Subventions Program and $40 million from the district’s Watershed and Stream Stewardship division. The water district said

Voices, MHUSD settle $125K squabble CHARTER HAS THREE YEARS TO SPEND MONEY OR RETURN IT Scott Forstner Reporter

Voices-Morgan Hill charter school leaders must spend $125,000 earmarked for facilities upgrades by Jan. 20, 2022 or return the funds to Morgan Hill Unified School District, per an amended agreement between the two parties. MHUSD’s board of education unanimously ratified

the new terms to the alternative facilities use agreement at a March 19 meeting. “I think the good news is that we reached a mutually agreeable conclusion,” said MHUSD Board President Mary Patterson. “The (prior) agreement was interpreted differently by both parties. It was not specific as to when the $125,000 in leiu payment had to be spent.” In May 2016, MHUSD and Voices worked out an alternative facilities agreement that included the $125,000 one-time, lumpsum payment from the district. The deal was also dependent on the charter’s

Mary Patterson dismissal of a complaint challenging the district’s denial of facilities for 201516 and willingness to waive all rights to facilities for three years to 2017-18. Voices’ Morgan Hill charter school operates within MHUSD

boundaries but is authorized through the Santa Clara County Office of Education. It originally ran its school out of the Advent Lutheran Church on Murphy Avenue before moving into the former Silicon Valley Flex Academy building at 610 Jarvis Drive. “We are grateful that the (MHUSD) board was willing to have discussions to amend the agreement in a manner we both thought was fair,” said Marie Moore, a spokesperson for Voices. “Nothing has changed from the original agreement about how and when Voices intends to use the money.”

In that original agreement, MHUSD gave Voices the $125,000 to purchase a portable classroom for the Advent site to accommodate its increased enrollment. However, Voices never bought the portable and instead opted to move its school to the larger facility. Staff from Voices and MHUSD met in December 2018 to review the areas of concern and mutually decided to amend the agreement to clarify the timeline for the expenditure of the lump sum payment, according to district staff. ➝Voices, 11

Teen seeks $950K for 2018 police shooting CIVIL CLAIM SAYS CITY, OFFICER RESPONSIBLE FOR INJURIES Michael Moore Editor

The family of a teen girl who was injured in an accidental police shooting in 2018 is seeking $950,000 in damages from the City of Morgan Hill. The 14-year-old girl’s family filed a claim for damages with City Hall Aug. 30, 2018, in relation to the accidental police shooting that occurred in April of that year. The claim is currently under consideration by city officials. The Morgan Hill City Council has not taken action or otherwise considered the teen’s claim. Attorneys for the teen’s family said they can’t comment on the details of the case because the claimant is a juvenile. “We are committed as the minor’s attorneys to ensure that no permanent injury was sustained during this event,” reads a statement from Albie B. Jachimowicz of the Jachimowicz Law Group. The teen was injured during a felony vehicle stop initiated by Morgan Hill Police April 29, 2018. The 15-yearold male driver of a stolen Morgan Hill Unified School District van, with two teen passengers inside, had led officers on a high speed chase that ended near the intersection of Llagas and Del Monte avenues. Just after officers used a PIT maneuver to cause the van to crash in that area, the two female teen passengers exited and began walking toward MHPD Sgt. Bill Norman with their hands up, according to a report of the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s investigation of the incident. As Norman used his right hand to push one of the teens to the ground as he

had verbally instructed, he accidentally fired a round from his department-issued handgun into the ground as he was holstering the weapon with his left hand. A fragment of the bullet that went into the ground bounced up and hit the 14-year-old girl, identified in the DA’s report as “M. Doe,” in the area of her right eye, reads the DA’s report. The teen was treated at a nearby hospital and released the next day. The DA’s report, compiled by Assistant DA Brian Welch, called the incident “an unfortunate accident” and found that Norman is not criminally liable for the injuries to the teen. The DA’s report was released to the public in January. While Welch told the Times that the teen’s injury was a “slight” one, the girl’s civil claim says the shooting caused a “severe injury.” The teen incurred more than $90,000 in medical bills because of her injuries, according to her claim. She is seeking $950,000 for general damages, hospital and medical expenses, emotional distress and pain and suffering. The claim was filed specifically against the City of Morgan Hill, Norman and other unnamed officers. The “possible causes of action” listed on the claim are battery, negligence, violation of the Bane Act and other violations of the state constitution. While the elected city council often considers such claims for damage for approval or denial in closed session, Morgan Hill Assistant City Attorney Cynthia Hasson said the body is not required to take action. State law allows civil claimants to follow up local claims for damages with a lawsuit in the courts if the city denies the claim. In this case, the city has not denied or approved the claim, and the teen’s attorneys said

they have not filed a lawsuit in court. City Attorney Donald Larkin declined to comment on the claim because of the pending nature of the litigation. Attorneys at the Jachimowicz Law Group said they and the Morgan Hill City Attorney’s office took care not to risk a conflict of interest over the fact that one of their attorneys, Caitlin Jachimowicz, was a sitting city councilmember at the time of the accidental shooting incident. Jachimowicz served on the council from January 2017 until November 2018. She was appointed to fill the seat left empty with the retirement of former Councilmember Gordon Siebert, and declined to seek election to stay on the council in November 2018. Albie Jachimowicz said his firm worked with the city attorney’s office and an outside firm hired by the city to figure out how “to avoid any perception of impropriety, even though this was not legally necessary.” Through these discussions, “a decision was made that the best course of action was to agree that no legal proceedings would be undertaken during her tenure” on the council, Albie Jachimowicz said. “Caitlin Jachimowicz was not a participant in any discussion whatsoever regarding this matter, and no longer sits as a member of the city council.” Caitlin Jachimowicz said she immediately disclosed her family firm’s involvement in the case as soon as the teen and her family hired them. She has not been involved in any of her firm’s work on the case. She added that city officials and the Jachimowicz firm agreed she should be “firewalled” from the case, meaning she has been excluded from all communications between the city and her firm regarding the accidental shooting case. That firewall will continue until the case is resolved, she said.

We are committed as the minor’s attorneys to insure that no permanent injury was sustained during this event. —ALBIE B. JACHIMOWICZ

MHPD investigates East Edmundson shooting NO INJURIES REPORTED Staff report

Morgan Hill Police are looking for a white car— possibly a Toyota Celica—related to a Tuesday night shooting on East Edmundson Avenue. No injuries or property damage were reported as a result of the incident.

About 8:12pm March 19, Morgan Hill Police responded to the area of East Edmundson Avenue and Church Street on a report of a disturbance with weapons involved, reads a press release from the Morgan Hill Police Department. Officers arrived at the scene and determined a shooting had occurred, and the suspect or

suspects had fled the area. The shooting occurred on the 200 block of East Edmundson, just before the suspects’ vehicle was seen leaving the area after a disturbance, police said. Police recovered multiple shell casings at the scene. Officers detained several people and are following up on witness statements. Witnesses told the Times that a male adult fired multiple shots from a handgun in the direction of a residence on East Edmundson Avenue, where a group of people had been congregating outside. The shooting followed a loud verbal argument between two parties. The vehicle involved in the shooting is

believed to be a white Toyota Celica or similar model, police said. It was last seen fleeing the area toward Monterey Road with several occupants. Morgan Hill police officers interviewed several witnesses at the scene and obtained surveillance video from surrounding homes, according to the press release. Detectives continue to investigate the incident and are requesting help from any additional witnesses. Anyone with information about this incident can contact MHPD Sgt. Bill Norman at (669) 253-4982 or Cpl. Joe Burdick at (669) 253-4960. Witnesses can also call the anonymous tip line at (408) 947-7867.

Morgan Hill Police arrested a young woman who was caught in the act of burglarizing a home in broad daylight over the weekend, according to authorities. About 3:45pm March 23, police responded to a call reporting a possible burglary in progress on Tilton Avenue in north Morgan Hill. The reporting party told MHPD dispatch that she saw an unknown female suspect in her backyard, and then heard the sound of a window breaking, reads a press release from Morgan Hill police. The resident who reported the incident locked herself in a bathroom while police responded, police said. As officers arrived, they determined the female suspect was still

Jessica Esparza Andrade inside the home, according to police. The officers formed a perimeter around the home and waited for backup. The suspect exited the residence through the front door, carrying a bag of stolen property, according to police. Upon finding herself surrounded by officers, the suspect tried to run away but was quickly arrested. The woman, identified

as Jessica Esparza Andrade, 18, had suffered injuries while entering the home through a broken window, police said. She was booked at Santa Clara County Jail on suspicion of a number of felonies, including burglary and possession of stolen property. Anyone that has information about this incident can call MHPD Sgt. Bill Norman at (669) 253-4982.

While city leaders continue to contemplate whether to become a player in the legal cannabis market, Morgan Hill school officials made their hard stance known opposing any city venture into the controversial industry. At a March 17 meeting, Morgan Hill Unified School District’s Board of Education stood in solidarity with district leadership in unanimously approving a resolution opposed to any retail, cultivation, distribution or testing of cannabis within city limits. “I think we really have to weigh what’s best for our students to succeed, so we’re urging the city of Morgan Hill to not accept any business aspects of the cannabis industry within our city limits,” said MHUSD Board President Mary Patterson. “Limiting the access to cannabis

near our students is very important.” Patrick Buchser, principal at Jackson Academy of Math & Music, was one of several administrators within the Morgan Hill Educational Leaders Association to voice opposition to cannabis and the “mixed messages” it would send to students. “There is not one campus in our district where students would not be affected negatively by the conflicting messages they receive from businesses and what they’re being told by the school system,” said Buchser, the association president. A copy of the school district’s resolution was sent to the Morgan Hill city manager’s office after the board ratified it. In November 2016, statewide voters approved Proposition 64 to legalize the recreational use of cannabis among adults. However, local municipalities are allowed to decide how much of the new cannabis industry, if any, are permissible within their jurisdictions. It has been a hotly

debated topic among Morgan Hill’s City Council, which is weighing the benefits of permitting cannabis sales and/or cultivation such as new tax revenue. In response to the city’s consideration of local ordinances related to the cannabis industry per state law, the MHUSD Executive Cabinet—headed by Superintendent Steve Betando—conducted research on the adverse effects of marijuana on various aspects of academic achievement, according to staff. “Sources show that marijuana use may have a negative impact on postsecondary educational outcomes, educational attainment, IQ level, mental health and more,” the staff report states. Following staff recommendation, the school board concluded that the cannabis industry is “detrimental to our youth” and unanimously passed a resolution opposing “the cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, testing and retail sale of commercial cannabis per California state law.”

GUEST OPINION

Response to the attack in New Zealand

ustice, reason and respect demand that we respond to the horrific attack that targeted the Islamic community in Christchurch, New Zealand on March 15. The death toll has risen to 50 as of March 20, and at least an additional 50 victims were injured in a senseless targeted shooting at two Islamic mosques. The Interfaith Clergy Alliance of South County stands in solidarity with those who suffer and with the families of those who lost loved ones, and all those whose souls are tortured because of this senseless act of terrorism against the Islamic community. We call on all people of faith to work alongside South County's interfaith clergy to do all in our power to continue fostering understanding., acceptance, healing and respect and to protect those in our community from xenophobia, lslamophobia, anti Semitism, and other expressions of senseless hate. We caution everyone about labeling religious people, especially our Muslim sisters and brothers, immigrants and other minorities with names and slogans that enable unscrupulous people to react with hatred, scorn, fear and violence. We call upon political leaders and government officials around the world to take real action toward the abatement of weapons that threaten the health, safety and wellbeing of all people. For now we mourn and pray alongside those who were injured and for all those grieving the loss of their loved ones, that this violence ends. Together we must work for what is right and just that peace may prevail on earth. Interfaith Clergy Alliance of South County, including but not limited to:

Young women around the world are beginning to find their voice, whether it be through the fight for gun regulation like Emma Gonzalez, environmental change like Greta Thunberg, more diversity in the media like Yara Shahidi or global education like Malala Yousafzai. In case those names don’t ring a bell, they are young leaders who all have something in common: exceptional leadership skills and the ability to share a powerful message with society. Being passionate about women’s issues and the perception of women in today’s society motivated me to join the planning committee for the Future Women Leaders Conference. I knew that if I was collaborating with other strong young women, not only would I be able to gain leadership and communications skills; I am also helping to pass those skills onto the next Malala’s and Greta’s of the world. This year’s FWLC will be held April 6 at the Community And Cultural Center, 17000 Monterey Road in Morgan Hill. The conference is sponsored by the American Association of University Women and the City of Morgan Hill. It is the students, however, who create this event. Student advocacy groups from GECA, Live Oak, Oakwood and Sobrato high schools come together for six months of planning with the purpose of bringing together the young women of our community and offering the skills and knowledge of those who have gone before them. Topics include self-care, public speaking, confidence building and many more. In fact, we have 14 workshops on the schedule, each presented by an expert in their field. The conference will include entertainment at lunch with young women performing instruments, singing and showing their interest for the visual and performing arts and a living library of Powerful Women, represented by some of Morgan Hill’s most influential members. Finding out about the Grateful Garment Project from the Women’s March, committee members thought it would be a great way to combine the conference with a community service project. The conference is asking attendees to bring a pair of leggings to donate to the Grateful Garment Project, which gives those clothes to women who have survived sexual abuse. In six months, participants will receive a postcard that they will write to themselves at the event about a motivational moment, a skill that they learned or a new friend that they met, rekindling that energy that might be starting to decline. Everyone will gain something different from these few hours together. As a member of the planning committee, I personally believe that my ability to confidently collaborate and share my ideas about something that I’m passionate about has made me a stronger person, more self-assured and ready to take on the challenges that I face as I go off to college in just a few months. Emma, Greta, Malala and Yara all found their voices in different ways, and we can, too. There is no limit on what we can do if we trust ourselves to follow our passions and not be afraid to ask others to join us. We are the future and the future is now. Sruchi Patel is a senior at Sobrato High School in Morgan Hill. For more information and tickets for the Future Women Leaders Conference, visit fwlc.eventbrite.com.

MORGAN HILL TIMES

Police: Distracted driving kills MORGAN HILL PD WILL CRACK DOWN ON DRIVING WITH CELL PHONE IN HAND IN APRIL Staff report

With April designated as Distracted Driving Awareness Month, Morgan Hill Police Department is

urging motorists to “silence the distraction” for traffic safety. Throughout the month of April, local police will join departments from all over the state in cracking down on drivers who violate California’s hands-free cell phone law. On April 4 and April 19, Morgan Hill police will post extra officers on patrol looking specifically for drivers on their phones, according to a

press release from Morgan Hill Police Department. In 2018, MHPD officers issued 648 citations to drivers who were texting, calling or performing other functions on their cellular phones, police said. According to data from the California Highway Patrol, in 2017 66 people died and more than 6,500 were injured statewide in distracted driving related crashes.

Under the updated cell phone law that went into effect in 2017, drivers are prohibited from having a phone in their hand for any reason, and can only use the phone in a hands-free manner, police said. The phones must be mounted on the dashboard, windshield or center console, and can only be touched one time with the swipe or tap of a finger to activate or deactivate a function.

First-time offenders of this law face a fine up to $162. “Cell phones remain one of the top distractions for drivers,” Morgan Hill Police Traffic Sgt. Ray Ramos said. “Like any bad habit, it can be hard to break, but this habit can have life-altering consequences.” The press release adds, “If you need to make a call or text someone, pull over and park

at a safe location. Struggling to stay off the phone while driving? Put your phone in a place you can’t reach, like the backseat or trunk.” Funding for the local distracted driving enforcement operation is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Voices considers facility options ➝ Voices, 1

MHUSD officials later questioned where the money had gone, since Voices moved sites and had not submitted any expense receipts for the $125,000. Voices responded that the money had not been spent and they were still determining the best use for the funds. The two sides disagreed on the deadline to spend the $125,000 on facility upgrades until coming to the amended agreement earlier this month. “What we’ve done is, because of that lack of clarity, we clarified the terms and extended the deadline,” Patterson said. “They have three more years to spend the money and must send the district the receipts to close out the in-lieu deal.” According to the California Department of Education database, Voices

Morgan Hill served 186 students in kindergarten through third grade during the 2017-18 school term. Voices’ enrollment includes 139 English Language Learners and 156 students who qualify for free and reduced lunch. The principal is Juan Carlos Villasenior. “Voices is looking at all options for a permanent facility in Morgan Hill,” Moore said, “and we’ll continue to grow at the current site in the meantime.” The charter company, Voices CollegeBound Language Academies, has four charter schools in Northern California. Along with its Morgan HIll site, it has campuses within the Franklin-McKinley, Mount Pleasant and West Contra Costa school districts.

— MARY PATTERSON, MHUSD BOARD PRESIDENT

What we’ve done is, because of that lack of clarity, we clarified the terms and extended the deadline. They have three more years to spend the money and must send the district the receipts to close out the in-lieu deal.

THE PLANS This map shows the water district’s plans for the Llagas Creek Flood Protection project,

which will be designed to prevent flooding along the creek as it passes through downtown Morgan Hill.

the first phase of work on the watershed is expected to start in June; phase two is expected to begin later in the summer, with the whole project taking around three years to complete. The project spans from Buena Vista Avenue in Gilroy upstream to Llagas Road in north Morgan Hill. The northernmost section of the project, known as Reach 8, goes through downtown Morgan Hill along West Little Llagas Creek, which flows in a southeasterly direction. Valley Water director John Varela, who represents the district that includes Morgan Hill on the board, said the project is great news for South County residents. “Flooding is something the water district is all about, and we take every measure to prevent it,” said Varela. “Mother Nature can deliver one wollup of a storm, and we have to be prepared to prevent it.” Varela said the June deadline for construction was not a hard deadline and may be subject to change, but construction is anticipated for “early summer.” The construction will widen and deepen the creekbed, and is expected to provide 100-year level flood protection to some urban areas of Morgan Hill. A 100year flood is defined by the water district as “a flood that has a 1 percent chance of being equaled or exceeded during any given year.” According to Gina Adriano, the water district’s public information representative, Morgan Hill receives more flooding than any other area in the Llagas watershed. The watershed experienced record flooding in 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2017. “The City of Morgan Hill has experienced more

flooding than the City of Gilroy primarily due to increased urban development in Morgan Hill along both banks of West Little Llagas Creek,” Adriano told the Times in an email. “The downstream sections of the Llagas Creek watershed occur primarily within the rural sections of the City of Gilroy and the unincorporated areas of Santa Clara County (and) San Martin.” While the Upper Llagas Creek Flood Protection Project was first proposed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the 1960s, planning began in earnest in 2009. The water district released its environmental impact report in 2014. In March 2019, the district announced the alternative they would take to complete the widening and deepening of the waterway. Adriano told the Times that the 2009 floods caused around $200,000 worth of damage and were the most damaging floods in recent memory. Morgan Hill Mayor Rich Constantine said he is relieved the project is finally taking place. “It will give our residents a little peace of mind knowing their properties won’t continue to flood,” he said. He said Morgan Hill residents had endured flooding for so long that he was happy to see “light at the end of the tunnel.” Constantine said a solution to the flooding had been a long time in the making, and he hopes the project would stay on the current timeline. Jose Villarreal, public information representative for the district, told the Times that the first phase of construction would cause some temporary impacts, but mainly in more rural areas. He said that the district was working with Morgan Hill and

said, “The project will result in providing flood protection for 1,100 homes, 500 businesses, and over 1,300 acres of agricultural

with the Army Corps of Engineers. Varela said this would allow the district to start construction following the selection of a contractor.

Recycled Water

More than 5,000 wells owned and operated by farmers, homeowners, cities and private water retailers, pump water from underground aquifers monitored and replenished by the Santa Clara Valley Water District (Valley Water). As the groundwater management agency, we actively manage our groundwater basins and replenish them with local and imported water. Maintaining our groundwater levels is critical for ensuring a reliable water supply, preventing land subsidence, and storing water for use during droughts and shortages. Every year, groundwater production charges are assessed and adjusted as necessary to cover costs in delivering safe, clean drinking water to South County customers. A reliable source of water for the projected population growth is a primary concern of Valley Water’s board of directors. Furthermore, vital infrastructure upgrades, such as the Anderson Dam Seismic Retrofit Project, pipeline inspection and rehabilitation, and the development of future drought-proof recycled water supplies, are necessary to ensure reliability for years to come. We continue to encourage lower water usage, which results in lower revenue for infrastructure upgrades and rehabilitation projects, and puts upward pressure on water rates in the near term. Reduced water use per capita will reduce the need for long-term investments to secure new supplies, which will minimize rate increases in the future. Valley Water is hosting a public hearing in Morgan Hill for residents to ask questions or comment on the proposed rates. This annual process creates a channel for transparency and ongoing well owner communication and engagement.

SHE CAN ‘FLY’ Sobrato High sophomore standout Annie Ly leads the way in a dual meet against Silver Creek on March 21. Ly has already hit Central Coast Section qualifying times in three events this season, with a possibility of one or two more cutoff marks by the end of the league finals.

SWIMMING

Fast times at Sobrato LY, HATCH ON PACE TO HIT ALL OF THEIR TARGET TIMES emanuel lee Sports Editor

Robert Eliason

Sobrato High sophomore Annie Ly and senior Jacob Hatch are on the move. Both swimmers are coming off tremendous seasons, and Ly has already qualified for three events in the CCS Championships and Hatch is expected to qualify for at least one event. Ly ended last season on a high, finishing in 10th place in her best event, the 100 butterfly. That performance gave Ly a lot of confidence and optimism that she could possibly advance all the way to the CIF State Championships this season. “That is definitely a goal,” she said. “I’m striving for that 56 (second time). I feel like training is going well and I’m prepared (to nail some personal-records soon).” Ly considers the 200 individual medley her second best event, something that she takes pride in. Since swimmers do all four strokes in the medley event, they have to be well-rounded to be successful. It also forces swimmers to strategize when competing in the race. “I really try to take it out (fast) in the first 100 because I know the breast stroke is not my strongest stroke,” she said. “Then I try to swim it home in the last 50 to make up time I lose in the breast stroke.” Ly has been working on being ultra-efficient under water, since swimmers can save energy and gain distance at the same time.

The super sophomore constantly works on technique to hone her skills and keep her form strong. “I practice technique on my turns and make sure to pull as much water while not creating drag,” she said. Unlike most of her peers who qualify for CCS, Ly didn’t start swimming competitively until she was 10 or 11, which has probably worked in her favor because swimming year-round takes a toll on an athlete, especially mentally. The later start means Ly doesn’t have as much wear and tear and mileage on her body, and has yet to peak. Ly, who has maintained straight A’s since her freshman year, usually crashes when she gets home, utterly exhausted from school and the occasional twice-daily practices combining high school and club workouts. Hatch has been grinding away as well, knowing it will give him a chance to produce multiple PRs within the next month. Hatch, whose best event is the 100 backstroke, had competed solely in the 100-and 200 free in the first two dual meets to score points for the team. “Right now I’m building a lot of endurance for the 200 free, so for eight laps I try to pull more water,” he said. “I’m grinding out the sets so when it comes to race day I’ll be ready to accomplish what I set out to do.” Hatch qualified for CCS in the back stroke in his freshman and junior seasons. He has a PR of 56 seconds in the event, but said he can possibly drop a couple of seconds to the 53, 54 second range. “The practice, preparation and motivation from my teammates, parents and everyone around me gives me confidence,”

HE’S FAST Bulldogs senior Jacob Hatch swims the freestyle in a home dual meet against Silver Creek. A two-sport standout, Hatch aims to qualify for the CCS Championships for the third time in four years. he said. “I still feel like I can go faster and place higher (in CCS). I want to get a CCS cut(off ) time in at least the 100 or 200.” Hatch uses swimming to prepare himself for the water polo season, which happens to be his best sport. It’s no coincidence the best water polo players are also excellent swimmers. Hatch, who scored 108 goals during his senior water polo season, utilizes his 6-foot-4 frame to excel in both sports. “Swimming season keeps me in great shape and it helps me work

on my speed,” he said. “I try to make sure I’m faster than everyone else. My mindset before a race is to leave it all in the pool and be the first one out of the pool.” Hatch, who hopes to earn a Division I scholarship to play water polo, only takes a week or two off in August from athletics during the entire calendar year. “And even then I usually don’t take a break because I’m lifting or doing something to keep in shape,” he said. Hatch remains close with his older brother, Jarod, who

is swimming at Cal and established himself as one of the greatest swimmers in Sobrato High history. The two communicate everyday, either by text or by playing video games together at separate locations. Hatch also credits his parents, Jason and Gielanie, for helping him develop into a high-achieving student-athlete. Just like Ly, Hatch takes his academics seriously, knowing the time he puts in studying—especially in his major in college—will pay off in a fulfilling career down the road.

different challenge by trying out for the football team. “I heard conditioning for football was pretty bad, and yeah, it was pretty bad,” he said. “But I wanted to keep in shape in the off-season and did it for the conditioning aspect, because I can’t catch a football to save my life.” McCrossen only went into games when there was a blowout, and he ended up being in on every snap in the second half of the team’s blowout win over Westmont playing the safety position. “I was pretty nervous that game, but once I got in there, I had a lot of adrenaline and even made three to four tackles,” he said. Like McCrossen, Miner had his breakout season on the track last year, when he finished in seventh place in the 110-meter hurdles race in the BVAL Finals to earn a berth to the CCS Trials, where he took 25th. Miner’s time of 16.82 seconds in the league finals was a marked improvement considering he ran the 110 hurdles in 17.59 seconds in the seasonopening scrimmage. Miner has carried over a strong 2018 campaign to this season, as he nailed two PRs in a span of nine days, the first being a 16.19 second mark in a dual meet against James Lick on March 14 and the last being a 15.89 in the Avis Kelley. Save for a bout with shin splints, Miner’s season has been solid. “I’m battling the same normal injuries every year,” he said. “Other than that, things are pretty normal. My goal overall is to get a sub 16, so seeing that race

Robert Eliason

In a typical 400-meter race involving the section’s best competition, Kolton McCrossen often begins the final turn well behind the top three to four runners. For the Live Oak High junior, it can be a little unnerving at times to see a couple of competitors ahead by five to 10 meters with around 110 meters to go. However, it’s a position that McCrossen thrives in, knowing he has a superior finishing kick. In the St. Francis Invitational on March 16, McCrossen showed once again why he thrives in the biggest races. He started the final turn in sixth or seventh place before blowing by several runners and finishing in second place in 50.96 seconds, which at the time was good for the second best mark in the Central Coast Section this season. A week later in the Avis Kelly Invitational at Gilroy High, McKrossen won the 400 in a personal-record (PR) time of 50.28 seconds. “I was in no place to get a medal (at St. Francis) and just stuck to my form and started passing everyone like I usually do,” said McCrossen, who along with fellow junior Brandon Miner are the only boys on the team who have a top 10 mark in the CCS. “I got to the guy in first place and he beat me only by nine-tenths of a second.” McCrossen doesn’t actually use a running watch to track his pace; rather, he

goes by feel and instincts. It’s a successful strategy that can only be employed by a runner who knows their body and what is happening within the race. “I run the race with no watch and maybe in the last 50 meters if there is a clock (scoreboard), I’ll look at it,” he said. “But normally I just run from start to finish with no idea of the time. It’s about me making sure I’m in a position where I’m not going to get blown out.” McCrossen employed this exact strategy in last year’s Blossom Valley League Finals, when he came around the final turn in fifth place before roaring down the home stretch to finish in second in 50.88 seconds. That earned him a berth to the CCS Trials, where he finished in a thenPR of 50.86, good for 11th place, three spots out from advancing to the CCS Finals. Brimming with confidence, McCrossen not only plans on advancing to the CCS Finals this season, but he hopes to earn a top three finish and advance to the CIF State Championships. “I’m feeling set that I can run (the 400 in) 48 (seconds) by the end of the season, which hopefully would carry me to state,” he said. McCrossen puts every ounce of energy he has into running, employing a can-do attitude and putting in long hours to achieve his potential. A year ago, McCrossen took off five seconds from his 400 time from the start of the season to the end, a huge improvement for a mid-distance sprint event. Once the track season was over, he decided to take a

(James Lick dual meet) wasn’t as good a race as it could’ve been, I think on a peak performance day I can definitely drop a sub 16- or 15-second time by the end of the season.” With excellent guidance from Live Oak High coaches Cindy Armstrong and Omari Carr, athletes like McCrossen and Miner are feeling confident about future races. Miner has been working on his speed while

shoring up a technical issue. “I have one big issue with technique, and coach (Armstrong) has definitely helped me to fix that,” Miner said. “Going over the hurdles, I usually have my lead leg too straight. But in the race with James Lick, I was able to bend my leg a little more so I could get down faster, which allows me to run it faster. … I really can visualize how I’m supposed to do it (fix a technique

flaw) and then transfer that to the races.” In addition to the 110, Miner does the 300-meter hurdles and the high jump, the latter in which he has a PR of 5 feet, 8 inches. Miner nailed a huge PR of 42.07 seconds in the Avis Kelley, which was good for second place. Before the start of every race, Miner finds the right balance of getting hyped but not too excited.
