Marin County Track and Field: Record Breaks, Relays, and Rising Stars
Athletes from San Rafael, Mill Valley, and nearby towns kept things interesting. Tamalpais runners and Terra Linda’s crew brought pace and precision to the week’s meets.
This week, a few athletes even took their talents beyond county lines, competing at the Eddie Hart Invitational in Pittsburg and the Redondo Track Festival in Redondo Beach. The county’s spring track narrative keeps evolving—sometimes faster than you’d expect.
San Rafael and Tamalpais High dominate the pole vault and sprints
San Rafael senior Kishor Shah soared to the pole vault title at the Eddie Hart Invitational, clearing 12 feet, 6 inches. Local coaches from Marinwood to Larkspur couldn’t help but buzz about the jump.
Tamalpais High’s Vincent Porzio cleared 11-6 at the same meet, tying for second. The Tamalpais 4×100 relay—Dexter Burnett, Marley Cannon, Jacob Carder, and Hector Sigurdsson—took fourth in 44.96 seconds.
Sigurdsson grabbed another fourth-place finish in the 110 hurdles, running a personal-best 16.59. Back in Mill Valley, Tam’s depth showed again when Johanna Friedrichsdorf, a junior, won the 400 meters in 57.57.
She anchored the 4×200 relay to a second-place finish in 1:49.97 with teammates Chloe Arwin, Indeya Sanders, and Maja Karolak. That’s a lineup with some serious energy.
Terra Linda and the Redondo Track Festival set the pace for a school record
Terra Linda’s Shahan Ajmani clocked a stunning 9:25.63 to win the 3,200 at the Redondo Track Festival. That broke a school mark that had stood since 1967—yeah, that’s a long time.
The Red-tailed Hawks also saw Jackie Berman take the pole vault at 8-6. Karolak placed fifth in the high jump, and Malory Arthur finished runner-up in the triple jump.
Terra Linda’s multi-event potential is hard to ignore, especially at home meets and postseason races. There’s a sense that more records could fall soon.
Archie Williams and Marin baseball: a late heartbreak in a tight game
In San Anselmo, Archie Williams’ pitchers Roman Sanchez and Cody Horn combined for a three-hitter. A ninth-inning error, though, cost them the win as they lost 3-2 to Encinal.
Sanchez struck out eight over five innings. Fairfax and San Rafael fans will probably remember that kind of command for a while.
College of Marin lights up the scoreboard in Kentfield
It was a big day for the College of Marin, which exploded for eight runs in the second inning and cruised to a 15-6 win over Contra Costa. Ben Sebastiani drove in three runs, and several teammates added doubles.
The lineup looked productive, and folks in Kentfield and San Rafael are likely hoping for more fireworks in coming games. If you like offense, this team’s worth watching.
Softball, lacrosse, volleyball and tennis: multi-sport action across Marin
The weekend’s action covered a lot of ground. In lacrosse and softball, Tamalpais High squeaked out a 13-12 lacrosse win at Menlo, while Branson edged Casa Grande 13-12 in a thriller.
Dominican University in San Rafael picked up a 12-7 win at Converse, with Ryan Bionda scoring three goals. In tennis and volleyball, Branson came back to sweep Clear Lake 7-2, and Tam edged Archie Williams 4-3 in a tight Redwood Conference match.
Terra Linda also posted a 5-2 win over Marin Catholic, with several tough singles rallies deciding the day. The spring sports season in Marin is anything but boring.
Swimming: double winners and strong showings for Tam and Archie Williams
In the pool, Tamalpais produced dual winners Sophia Uhlhorn-Thornton and Esme Quay. Their efforts helped the team rack up points in dual-meet settings.
Archie Williams swimmers and divers also stepped up in dual meets against Redwood. Honestly, it looks like a bright season is brewing for the San Anselmo-based program.
As Marin County moves toward spring championships, that mix of small-town grit and weekend-only magic keeps things interesting from Mill Valley to San Rafael and Ross. Curious to see which teams from Marin City neighborhoods and Marin County communities will shape the race to the postseason.
