Dear MC Community,

As the 2025-2026 Athletic Season has come to an end, we wanted to update you on some of our Spring teams’ achievements.

Spring Athlete Spotlights

Jonnie Choi ‘26 (Cross Country, Track & Field) and Cece Biernat ‘26 (Field Hockey, Basketball, Lacrosse) were awarded the Eva & Mario Ghilotti Outstanding Student Athlete Award!

Spring Team Highlights

Boys Lacrosse: It was a historic year for the Wildcat Boys’ Lacrosse program, going undefeated in the Bay Area (including beating St.Ignatius College Prep twice), winning the Catholic Cup, and the NCS Division 1 Championships for the third year in a row! The Wildcats finished the season #2 in California and in the top 40 in the country.

Softball: A first for the Wildcat Softball team, the team played their home games on campus at Bishop Thomas A. Daly Field. The girls finished 1st in the regular season and won the MCAL Championship for the first time since 2022. They were seeded #1 in NCS Division 2 and lost an epic 2-day game in 13 innings in the NCS Quarterfinals.

Girls Lacrosse: The Wildcat Girls’ Lacrosse team continued their roll and took home a 2nd consecutive MCAL Championship! After being seeded #3 in NCS Division 1, the Cats went to San Ramon Valley and won an epic overtime semifinal before making their first ever NCS D1 Championship appearance.

Boys Golf: Golf came in 1st place in the MCAL regular season for the second year in a row, this time undefeated in the regular season. The boys then traveled up to Arcata and were crowned NCS Division 2 team champions! Rhys Jones, Finn Henne, and Jasper Smith also qualified for the NCS Division 1 tournament as individuals.

Spring Team Spotlights

• Baseball: The Baseball boys came in 3rd in the MCAL regular season. Moved up to Division 2, the Wildcats upset the #4 seed, Encinal before finishing the season as quarterfinalists. 
• Boys Tennis: Once the tennis squad was at full strength, the boys were competitive in their league season.
• Boys Volleyball: A rebuilding year for the volleyball team as the boys have a bright future with a lot of young talented players that will grow with the program.
• Mountain Biking: Our crew of mostly first-time racers stepped up instantly, with Colin Montgomery and Jackson Sabow capturing thrilling pre-season podiums. Veteran Tommy Brady secured an impressive top-20 finish in the competitive pre-season High School Sport Division. Brody Von Waldburg consistently placed in the top 20 for D2 freshmen and represented MC at the NorCal Championships!
• Sailing: The 2026 Spring Marin Catholic Sailing season continued an exciting new era for the Wildcats, building on the 2025 launch of separate JV and Varsity programs that created more opportunities for sailors to grow as skippers and crew. Highlights included hosting the opening NorCal regatta at Sausalito Yacht Club, earning a Top 10 finish at NorCal #5 Silver, and competing in multiple championship-level regattas.
• STUNT: A new sport was formed in the spring of 2026, STUNT. The girls and coaches trained all season, getting ready for their match debut in 2027!
• Swimming and Diving had a successful MCAL season and League Championship Meet. 
• MCAL Champions: Esme Quay ‘26 (200 IM and 100 Breast for the 3rd year in a row) 
• School Record Breaker: Beau Panzica ‘28 broke the 50 Free record that was set in 1990 and tied in 2008 by swimming 21.28
• CIF State Paralympic Meet: Katerina Federoff ‘27 (2nd in NCS) placed 3rd in the 50 and 100 Free
• Track and Field:
• MCAL Champions: Kris Villeda ‘27 Discus and Yasmin Walcroft ‘28 High Jump for the 2nd year in a row
• NCS Meet of Champion Qualifier: Brandon Choung ‘26

Looking Forward to Fall Athletics!

• The official date for Fall Sports tryouts is Monday, August 10. More information to follow on dates and times in early August. 

• Don't forget to attend a Concussion Testing date. Ideally, we like students to take this test freshman year and then again junior year. It is critical for students that have never tested or suffered a concussion within the past year, to attend one of the following testing dates. 

• This is the annual reminder that athletes must have a current Physician's Clearance Form completed and signed by their doctor and uploaded into MC Connect ANNUALLY. Please make sure to schedule your appointment with your physician soon. More HERE.
