Junior Gianna Mendoza has completed the Youth Crew Program at the Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito. She volunteered on Sunday Day Crew at the hospital where she worked directly with seals and sea lions at the hospital. To complete the program youth must also present on a medical condition, an environmental issue that affects marine mammals or a case study on a patient. Gianna presented on Otostrongylus circumlitis, a parasite that is primarily found in elephant seals at The Marine Mammal Center. Great work, Gianna!
Gilroy, CA - The Presentation Panthers had a banner day at the 2019 Central Coast Section Finals. Senior Isabella Grant won the Pole Vault to earn her first CCS title. Although Grant and Lindsay Gigliello from Branham High School both cleared 12 feet and 6 inches, Grant earned first place by virtue of less misses throughout the competition. Grant, currently second in the CCS in the pole vault with a mark of 13 feet and 1 inch, will continue her season next week at the California Interscholastic Federation State Meet hosted by Buchanan High School before she heads to UCLA.
