Raiders show spirit through athletics
by Omar Arce
Homecoming week was very hectic week. With only 4 days of school, one of them being a minimum day, and with two assemblies the week flew by and the weekend soon arrived. So did the sports. Friday the Lady Raiders volleyball team took on the San Ysidro Cougars, in the Raider Stadium. The freshman team did their thing and defeated their counterparts. So did the JV team. Then it was up to the Varsity team to complete the sweep. Finally the Lady Raiders swept San Ysidro in 3 consecutive sets with little opposition from the Cougars. Unfortunately, it did not go that well for the Football team. The team lost 35-0 against the Sweetwater Red Devils.
The next morning the Southwest Cross Country team left school at 6 am to compete in the Southern California Invitational. Competition was tough with the fastest teams of California. However, many Raider Runners had great performances. Ramon Lupercio clocked an all-career personal record of 19 minutes and 27 seconds in a 5k race. On the girls sid,e Cassandra Palacios and Yessenia Baylon won medals for 12 and 25 place respectively in the 2.4 mile novice division.
