Sadia Ibrahim has always been an amazing athlete. Running track all throughout middle school and high school, Ibrahim
has chosen to continue in college. Fortunately, her talent will make her successful almost anywhere.

Many colleges have taken an interest in Ibrahim as a student athlete. Reno State was the first college that contacted Ibrahim on July 1, 2012, the opening date for coaches to start recruiting athletes.

Reno State was very persistent, calling almost every day to make an offer with Ibrahim. Ibrahim was amazed by the coach’s tenacity.

Winter is here, and with it comes a brand new season of boys basketball at Santa Rosa High. On November 5th, athletes, who played summer league and conditioned through out the fall, tried out for all three boy's basketball teams.

Track and Field:  SRHS’s track team has been having an awesome season this year working really hard and setting new records. Varsity boys have been getting lots of injuries, giving freshmen and sophomores the chance to take over. The girls have been outstanding. Many new records have been set by this year’s girls, who have only lost one meet so far this season. Led by Marisa Troppy and Georgi Ryan, the girls also have the best shot-put and discus throwers in the history of SRHS, with the most girls able to throw the shotput over thirty feet and the discus over one hundred feet.

“Cheerleaders are the only athletes I know that run, condition, jump, tumble, dance, stunt and support other sports teams on a year-round schedule 6-10 hours per week. There is no off-season in cheer,” says varsity cheer coach, Tena Hanford.

Santa Rosa High’s Gabe Cramer has had everything but a typical Senior year.  While his fellow classmates exhaustingly hammered out college application essays, Cramer  kept his eye on the ball.  

“I feel like I’m younger than my friends because while they’re thinking about applying to colleges, it doesn’t even cross my mind,” says Cramer. On October 27, 2010, Gabe Cramer officially signed a contract for a full ride to Stanford University for baseball.

Many people are unaware of the high skill level that is required to master the sport of ice hockey.

“You have to start from a young age and really be focused to do well. Most kids start at the age of 5,6, or 7,” said SRHS senior, John Getts. Getts is now in his eleventh year of the sport, and has taken his time to acquire all of the necessary skills to become a great player. He has played for the Nor Cal league team, The Santa Rosa Flyers, for the last eleven years, and in his recent years he has played on the Cardinal Newman Cardinals team.
