Cross Country: City runners represented well at Lowell Invitational
By Jeremy Balan
Nine San Francisco high schools competed in the Lowell Invitational on Saturday at Golden Gate Park, but it was a pair of girls runners that made the biggest impression.
St. Ignatius sophomore Kendall Hacker finished fourth in a field of 127 in the first varsity race of the day with a time of 17 minutes, 57 seconds (just 21 seconds behind the first-place finisher Kylie Goo from Westmoor), and led the Wildcats to a fifth-place finish in the first race, behind team winner Alameda, as well as San Ramon Valley, Palo Alto and Wood.

By Jeremy Balan

In just its third year of existence and first year on its own campus, San Francisco International High School will be fielding varsity sports programs for the 2011-2012 season.

Dear Supporter,
As you know, SanFranPreps.com is the only site of its kind in San Francisco. We provide accurate, important, timely coverage of high school sports in the City. I am so proud of the site’s successes over the last year and a half, as we have had a direct impact on the countless student athletes and 30 athletic programs in San Francisco.
And now it is time for us to grow. We are in the final stages of applying for our 501(c)3 status to become a nonprofit organization, but without an initial seed investment, SanFranPreps.com will not be able to continue coverage into the next school year.
