One of the straightaways on the Paly track sits unused late in the day. During the summer, workers resurfaced the track and finished jump pits, completing the football stadium remodel.

The Paly varsity track team participated in a CCS invitational event including Los Gatos, Bellarmine, among others. 

The event is labeled as an invitational, so the team scores do not count to any league standings – it’s all about individual times. 

“It was an amazing tournament,” Paly runner Nick Saffer (‘24) said. “The weather was great, and we had some great finishes from some of our runners.”

Neddie Kiessling (‘24) placed third in the 800m with a time of 1:56, an elite showing for the Vikings.

On the girls side, Kinga Czajkowska (‘25) won the mile. Czajkowska is still returning to form after a long term injury kept her out for the start of the season, so her dominant performance is extremely encouraging.

Paly hopes to keep their momentum going into the actual CCS Finals on May 18.

Rowan is an all around amazing person. After graduating Paly in 2015, he took his talents to USC in Los Angeles and has not been heard from again. An anonymous source tells us that he is "slaying every aspect of college life".
