Not hard to believe all that Sadie has accomplished when you see the work she puts in!

Sadie Engelhardt of Ventura becomes the second girl in California State Meet history to win both the 1600 and 800 as she ran 2:07.22

Cannot wait to see what Sadie’s junior year will look like #GoSadie

[Luca Evans @bylucaevans]

Ventura’s Sadie Engelhardt gets a standing ovation as she comes down the straight. Finishes with time of 4:33:45. Good for CIF state meet record. Running by herself, again.

Losing Kory Anderson and Tyree Cruz in the same year is a monumental blow to VHS but I’m so proud of both of them. Excited to continue to teach with you Tyree!!

We are losing a better man than coach and he was an amazing coach. Good luck at @bhs_sports13 Kory!!

Good luck to Kory Anderson.

Taught with Kory for 4 years and I’m so happy for Kory and his family and this new opportunity. Wish he could have stayed at Ventura, but more excited for what Buchanan HS is gaining.

Heading into the new school year, I’m looking for some amazing quotes to challenge my freshman to think more critically from voices that they don’t hear from all the time

We must never ever forget the horrors of August 6, 1945

The USA did the absolute UNTHINKABLE and dropped atomic bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, murdering hundreds of thousands of people and guaranteeing millions more would die soon after from the effects https://t.co/01HUszKaQt
