Sports Shorts: Friday, May 17

With school ending, we will shut down Sports Shorts for the summer. Sports coverage is a vital part of what we do at Raincross Gazette. Sports Shorts will return in the Fall, and we will cover any emergent sports stories individually.

Every Friday, we bring you a quick rundown of Riversiders achieving athletic excellence and a guide to sporting events around the city. These events provide affordable, family-friendly entertainment and foster civic pride and community connections. See you in the bleachers.

Swimming

Ava DeAnda is getting a lot of attention for her swimming achievements. The Poly Sophomore won a state title in the 100-meter and repeated as champion in the 200-meter freestyle event. Look for big things from Ava in the future.

High School Softball

The CIF-SS Softball Championships are this weekend. Two Riverside Schools will play in tournament final games. JW North plays Paraclete on Friday in the Division 4 final, and ML King will face Etiwanda on Saturday for the Division 3 title. Both games are at Deanna Manning Stadium in the City of Irvine. Tickets are available here.
