On Saturday, February 26, two Acalanes sophomores, Adler Faulkner and Amy Hollshwandner, traveled to Fresno to compete in the California High School Indoor Invitational Track Meet held at Fresno State. Both athletes had to qualify for this race by competing at a track meet held at UC Berkeley on February 5. Both Hollshwandner and Faulkner raced in the 600 yard run. While an unusual distance to run in California, high schools in the East and Mid-West still run this indoor distance. This was the first time both athletes competed on an indoor track. Hollshwandner finished first in her heat and ninth overall. Faulkner finished first in his heat and second overall.
