EYE ON THE BALL At bat<br />
against Canoga Park, Girls<br />
Softball player Alejandra<br />
Hernandez (L) takes her<br />
turn at bat. “It felt amazing<br />
coming back onto that<br />
field,” she said. “With the<br />
encouragement from each<br />
and every player throughout<br />
the season, I can truly say<br />
that I would never choose<br />
a different group of girls to<br />
play with.” <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Nuys</strong> beat<br />
Canoga 7-3.<br />
IN PURSUIT Track and<br />
Field, like the other sports,<br />
had to adjust to the times.<br />
Track meets split the events<br />
between schools, only allowing<br />
athletes from the<br />
same school race eachother<br />
to minimize spread in case<br />
of outbreak. Lesley Lutin<br />
is leading the charge with<br />
Emily Finnegan (L), Arianna<br />
Villalobos (R) and Sabrina<br />
Chase (far right) in the rear.
