American Canyon's Jay Woodson with a huge jump to place 2nd in the boys high jump. Cleared 6-10 on his first attempt, PR by 2 inches. Now tied for No. 4 all-time in Redwood Empire history.

Healdsburg's Teague Jasper finished 9th with a clearance of 6-05. #PDPreps

Awesome accomplishment for the Trojans. Third section title for a VVAL team this season. Very cool they also did it 10 months after longtime HC Kurt Jastrow passed away.

Jastrow led Petaluma to 4 NCS title over a decorated 22-year career. #PDPreps

TROJANS ARE SECTION CHAMPIONS! Kellie Vella with the catch of her career to end it as Petaluma wins their first NCS title since 2011 #PDPreps

@TaylorPellonari @bronsheimer2029 @sfannin2028 @TaylorCook_2028 @harpermiles2027 END 5 | Petaluma 9, Alhambra 5

Cook gets out of the inning with two grounders, but we have a ballgame here at DVC. #PDPreps

@TaylorPellonari @bronsheimer2029 @sfannin2028 @TaylorCook_2028 @harpermiles2027 END 4 | Petaluma 7, Alhambra 0

BIG TIME from @TaylorCook_2028! She responds with a groundout and two straight Ks to end the inning. #PDPreps

[Kienan O'Doherty @kodoherty22]

@TaylorPellonari @bronsheimer2029 @sfannin2028 @TaylorCook_2028 @harpermiles2027 Holy smokes, Trojans just cleared the bases without even swinging the bat. Wilson and Miles score on a passed ball to make it 7-0. Ronsheimer then walks to put another runner on with no outs #PDPreps
