TROJAN PRIDE Families,
It was another incredible year for Oak Ridge Athletics and as the 2015-16 year comes to a close, we would like to take some time to celebrate our successes and recognize those who helped make it happen.
Our numbers were incredible and speak for themselves. We ended the year with 23 Sports, 62 Sport Teams, 30 Varsity Teams and over 1400 registered athletes. Oak Ridge student athletes worked hard in the classrooms, maintaining an average GPA of 3.35. We continued to create a strong presence in one of the toughest leagues in all of California. This year we added 8 League Championships with 20 of our teams placing in the top 3 within League. We won 2 Section Championships with 19 teams qualifying to compete in Section Championship games. Three Teams Qualified for Masters while Oak Ridge had 13 opportunities to compete at the State Level. The TROJANS walked away with 2 State Championships this year with our Cheer & Stunt and Men's Swim & Dive Teams bringing home the titles. We had over 30 student-athletes sign their Letters of Intent, as they have committed to take their talents to the next level, competing in college next season. Overall, another outstanding year for TROJAN Athletics. For a comprehesive look at standings by team, click here:

And Oak Ridge Athletes did more than just sports. Our student athletes also made their mark by giving back to the community, lending their time to volunteer and helping raise over $10,000 for various charitable organizations. We could not be prouder of our high performing teams, their achievements and more importantly, how they balance their commitment on the field with their dedication in the classrooms and in the community.
The Power of Pride...Our success does not happen by chance. It is the result of many coming together, working hard, and dedicating themselves to a higher purpose. Our student athletes commit themselves beyond what is expected, spending hours practicing, training, and competing while balancing their time with academics and other extracurricular activities. We have incredible coaches who selflessly lend their time and energy to develop our programs, simultaneously enriching the lives of our players. Parent volunteers fill in all the blanks and ensure our teams are equipped for success throughout their seasons. The Oak Ridge High School Administration, Sports Boosters and Community Foundation provide directional and financial support which enables us to maintain excellence across our programs year after year. And the El Dorado Hills Community and Sponsors provide a collaborative partnership that expands Oak Ridge Athletics beyond the walls of our campus. We are so fortunate to have the continuous support of everyone affiliated with our program. Thank you for all you do to make us who we are; we are so proud to be called TROJANS and look forward to another fantastic season together.
GO TROJANS!
