Lafayette's Stanley Middle School track and field team swept three annual middle school championship meets, beating out 15 East Bay middle school teams to take the titles. On May 27, Stanley won the "B" meet at Piedmont High School. Then on May 28, Stanley won the the 6A Meet at Alhambra. The Wildcats closed out the season with a win at the 7/8A Stanley Invitational at Acalanes High School on June 1-2. This year marked the first time since 1999 that Stanley has won the 7/8A meet.
Two performances among many by the team of 105 students were especially noteworthy. The 7A girls' 4x100 meter relay team of Jacqui Caulfield, Georgia Karas, Jamie Bishop and Scarlett McCullough broke the school record set in 1982 with a time of 54.62 seconds. The 7A boys' 4x100 meter relay team of Owen McNamara, Aidan Mosely, Nick Geannacopulus and Ben Fromer broke the school record set in 1972 with a time of 51.94 seconds.
Altogether the 2015 Wildcats set a total of 11 new school records
