ALBUQUERQUE – Throughout the last several seasons, the Los Alamos Hilltopper girls track and field team has known it has had a very good team top-to-bottom.
The Hilltoppers got a chance to show that off Friday afternoon.
Los Alamos took part in the Albuquerque Public Schools Relays Friday at Milne Stadium. Los Alamos took home top honors in the meet, which consisted entirely of relay events, with a total of 86 points, 20 points better than the St. Pius X Sartans, seen as one of the biggest threats to unseat Los Alamos from its three-year reign as 4A team champion.

Here are the results from Los Alamos Football Club teams in Duke City Soccer League play for week 5:

On the girls’ side, the U12 KIXX 2000 team defeated the NM Rush Barca 2-1 to push its record to 3-2.
Valerie Li scored off an indirect kick started by Serenity Maestas. Daniela Salazar beat   two defenders to score the game-winner after receiving a through-ball by Hannah Littleton.
The U14 Kixx 99 team won its third game of the season, beating the Albuquerque Challenge FC Eruption 2-0.
In boys games, the U16 Lasers 96 lost a hard fought match to Durango United, 3-0. The Lasers were down 1-0 at the half but allowed two late goals.

Los Alamos girls track and field multi-discipline star Chase Ealey appears once more to be the one to beat in her two best events.
Ealey, a senior for the Hilltoppers, won the 100 meters and the shot put at the Marilyn Sepulveda Meet of Champions Monday. Ealey, the three-time reigning sprint champ and the 2011 state Class 4A shot put champ, picked up wins in both events Monday in what is a mid-season All-Star track meet.
Ealey had been out during the preseason with a hamstring pull, but has since healed and appears now to be back in championship form.
On the boys side, Jacob Brown took third in the triple jump and Sean Reardon was fourth in the 1,600 meters.

With one of its two biggest challengers officially dispatched, the Los Alamos Hilltopper baseball team can turn its attention to the other.
Los Alamos erased an early two-run deficit Wednesday against the Bernalillo Spartans, then poured it on in the late innings. First baseman Steven Williams and third baseman Jake Downs both went 2-for-3 and drove in two runs as the Hilltoppers dispatched the Spartans 12-2 in six innings.
The win moves Los Alamos to 5-1 in the District 2-4A standings.
With five of its remaining games against the two bottom teams in district, Santa Fe and Capital, Los Alamos appears to be in excellent position to earn its fourth straight 2-4A title.
