Arlington Lions Athletics
We’d like to blame a glitch in the Matrix, but the truth is we were late to the party in celebrating Aubrey Harper (Dance) and Nehemiah Perez (Swim) for Athlete of the Week! They are a total rockstars 💃🏊♂️Better late than never, and definitely worth the wait check out what they accomplished.
Senior Aubrey Harper delivered a masterclass performance at the West Coast Elite Dance Nationals in Long Beach! Competing in a massive field of 100 elite senior soloists, Aubrey rose to the occasion to secure a phenomenal 7th place overall finish. Beyond her individual success, Aubrey continues to be the heartbeat of the Lions’ team routines. Her technical precision and unwavering consistency have made her a vital piece of the puzzle in this year’s choreography
Senior Nehemiah Perez earned athlete of the week! His powerhouse performance was highlighted by securing two individual CIF Qualifying times in the 200 Free and 100 Butterfly. He didn’t stop there; his leadership and speed were instrumental in driving both the 200 Medley and 200 Free Relays to their own CIF Qualifying marks. Congratulations and we apologize for the delay n posting your success!
Congrats to our 4 x 100 relay teams for their podium finish at the Raincross invitational this past weekend!
Throwback Tuesday, honoring Chris Harper one of the best athletes to come out of Arlington High school!!!
