  • Boys tennis: LA advances to...

    ALBUQUERQUE — Heading into the Class AAAA state final, the Los Alamos Hilltopper boys tennis team knew it would take something in the neighborhood of a miracle to win.

    That something would never materialize.

    The Hilltoppers, who dominated their opponents in the quarterfinal and semifinal round of the boys AAAA state team draw, ran into a buzzsaw in the form of the Albuquerque Academy Chargers.

  • Boys tennis: LA seeded second in...

    Those need a prediction about Class AAAA boys tennis this season would probably need only ask Giri Raichur.

    The day before the Class AAAA seeding meeting, Raichur all but filled in the boys team draw correctly from 1-6.

    That might not be particularly good news for the fans of the Piedra Vista Panthers.

    Raichur’s Hilltopper boys tennis team will play today’s winner between Piedra Vista and Silver in Friday’s first round of the AAAA boys state championship.

  • Track and field: LA teams...

    On the surface, it wouldn’t appear the Los Alamos Hilltopper track and field teams have a lot to worry about come this weekend.

    Los Alamos’ boys and girls squads will host the District 2AAAA championship meet Friday and Saturday at Sullivan Field.

    It’s the second straight meet the Hilltoppers have hosted, coming off their Los Alamos Invitational meet last week, in which both teams won big over all comers.

    Among the also-rans last week were teams from Española Valley, Taos, Capital and Bernalillo, the teams that make up the rest of 2AAAA.

  • Girls tennis: Topper girls open...

    It might seem odd that a 7-2 loss is a reason to be upbeat, but Tuesday’s loss to the Bosque School Bobcats was just that for the Los Alamos Hilltopper girls tennis team.

    Going into Tuesday’s dual, the Hilltoppers were fully expecting to be beaten 9-0 by the best team in the state, regardless of class.

    How good are the Bobcats? Their No. 3 single, Sierra Smith, is ranked in the top 50 in regionals.

  • Girls golf: LA wins district...

    SANTA ANA PUEBLO – With its place in the Class AAAA state championship already secure, the Los Alamos Hilltopper girls golf team could take it easy on the course.

    But the Hilltoppers didn’t take it easy on their opponents.

    In Monday’s District 2AAAA championship tournament, Los Alamos scored a decisive win over the only team in the district that could field a full team. Los Alamos was 46 strokes better than Española Valley, totaling a 390 at the Santa Ana Golf Course.

  • Boys golf: Toppers qualify for...

    SANTA ANA PUEBLO – It was a must-win situation.

    Going into Monday’s District 2AAAA championship golf tournament, the Los Alamos Hilltopper boys had yet to qualify for the state Class AAAA championship. A win and only a win in the district tournament would secure the team a slot in the state tournament.

    With that hanging over the heads of the Hilltoppers, the pressure was on, but the Hilltoppers came through.

    The Los Alamos Hilltopper softball team moved within one game of clinching a spot in the Class AAAA playoffs with a pair of wins Saturday.

  • Tennis: Toppers sweep District 2...

    TAOS — Neither of the Los Alamos Hilltopper tennis teams could be entering the postseason on a much higher note than they are.

    Both teams won big at this weekend’s District 2AAAA team and individual tournaments, which were held at the Quail Ridge Inn Friday and Saturday.

    Los Alamos knocked off Taos in both boys and girls competition Saturday, winning the team tournament and securing a spot in the state Class AAAA tournament which gets going Friday in Albuquerque.

  • Track and field: LA takes team...

    With crunch time on them, the Los Alamos Hilltopper boys and girls track and field teams are hoping they’re peaking at the right time.

    And for the most part, they seemed to at their final meet of the regular season, Friday’s Los Alamos Invitational.

    Making their second home appearance of the regular season before they host this week’s District 2AAAA championship meet, the Hilltoppers won both the boys and girls team contests by sizeable margins. In all, 10 teams competed in Friday’s meet.
