The swim team had a good season overall and finished with a 5-1 record for both varsity boys and girls. Their only loss was to Palo Alto. The boys finished sixth while the girls finished tenth in the league.

The boys' team has many great players, including seniors Michael Wong and Matt Prior, junior Mark Prior and sophomore Casey Barnes-Waychus, who led the team to multiple victories. The team is relying on incoming and returning swimmers for next year’s season. “Our goals for next season are to get better,” head coach Mark Hernandez said. “Everyone on the team needs to do better.”

The lacrosse team finished with a 6-7 record and placed sixth in the league. The team lost 15 seniors last year, and as a result had many players that had never played before.

The beginning of the season was challenging as players worked on the basics, such as throwing and catching. However, as the season progressed, the team showed improvement, winning its last four games. The team is excited and hopeful for next season. “The most exciting thing about next year is that we are only losing one senior,” head coach Kim Pepper said. “The girls are eager to improve their record next year.”

The gymnastics team has had a nearly spotless record this year, with its only defeat coming from Saint Francis on April 27. Junior Kaylyn Reyes and sophomore Miranda Der were the undaunted leaders of the team during the season and placed first in almost every event they competed in this season.

Furthermore, the regular season ended on a high note for the Titans with their victory over Cupertino at an away meet. They ended their season placing third in the Central Coast Section championships (CCS). The team looks to stay high in CCS rankings for next year, led by Reyes and Der.

The baseball team finished 8-10 in De Anza League play and 12-14 overall. The team held a second place tie with Palo Alto in league play, although the Titans defeated the Vikings two out of three times this season. The efforts of senior Brent Gardiner, juniors Sam Zipperstein and Alex Zeglin and sophomore Kyle Einfalt were key to Gunn’s success.

With outstanding plays from junior Tucker Laurence, the Titans made it to the finals of the CCS playoffs after defeating North Monterey in the first round 7-4, Cappuchino in the quarterfinals 2-0 and Soquel in the semifinals 1-0.

The badminton team did well this season and placed fourth in the league. “We did a bit better than last year and we had a very young team,” head coach Marc Tsukakoshi said. “Considering the overall average grade of the team, I think we did quite a bit better last year.”

Due to the large number of underclassmen on the team this year there will be a minimal impact from departing seniors. Next season, many of the key players will be incoming upperclassmen. “We are doing very well to be able to challenge [opposing schools] in the upper division,” Tsukakoshi said.

The girls’ softball team had a good season and placed fifth in the league, rising one rank compared to last year. Though the team has had the same record as last year, it has been playing harder opponents this year. Its record was 3-9 in the league and 8-13 overall. The team will lose only two seniors next season and is looking forward to gaining four to five new players.

“Overall it was very enjoyable and had a very competitive,” head coach Dave Jost said. “We had a lot of very close games and the girls did fantastic.”

Track & Field has had success this year not only in dual meets, but also from its individual performers. Senior Chris Yu had an amazing season, reaching the CCS finals and jumping 22 feet 9.5 inches. The relay team had a tremendous year, reaching the CCS finals ranked fourth, and is looking to keep up this fierce competitiveness next year. Several promising sprinters such as junior Curtis Liang and sophomore Gaurav Shirole will be returning next year.
