As the school year draws to an end, we recently gathered at the 2023 Athletic Awards Banquet to celebrate the achievements of our student-athletes and the countless hours put in by our dedicated coaches. 

There was much success to go around this year, as 41 San Domenico athletes received a total of 49 All League awards. That’s more than twice the number of All League athletes we had prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, a testament to the amazing growth our Athletics program has seen in the last two years. These are meaningful achievements as they are voted on by all of the coaches in the BCL West.

Twelve teams (two more than last year) made BCL playoffs in 2023, including Men's and Women's Cross Country, Men's and Women's Basketball, Men's Soccer, Men's and Women's Tennis, Men's and Women's Swim, Men and Women's Track, Baseball, and Badminton. Badminton and Flag Football were crowned league champions, and one athlete won a league title in Track & Field.

Eleven teams/individuals also advanced to North Coast Sectional Playoffs, with Badminton and Volleyball each earning a second-place NCS finish and three individuals taking home NCS Championship titles. Our Women’s Basketball team celebrated back-to-back NorCal championships this year, making it all the way to the State Championship game in Sacramento. Mountain biking had a NorCal individual champion, and Track and Field sent a runner all the way to the final heat of the State Finals!

To all the coaches, thank you for your passion and commitment to nurturing talent and instilling the values of discipline and sportsmanship in our young student-athletes. Your guidance, mentorship, and unwavering belief in our students have been instrumental in shaping their success.

We must also acknowledge the unwavering support of our parents and families, who have stood by our student-athletes every step of the way. Your love, encouragement, and sacrifices have played a vital role in the journey of our athletes. Thank you for being the foundation of their dreams and aspirations.

To our student-athletes, thank you for your hard work and dedication. Your commitment to your sport has inspired your teammates and the entire school community. You have displayed remarkable sportsmanship, pushing the boundaries of what is possible and setting new standards for excellence. Remember, success is not just defined by the trophies and medals you have earned but by the lives you have touched, the inspiration you have provided, and the lessons you have learned along the way.

Thank you all for being a part of this great school!
