More Season 2 Highlights
Softball
Highlights Cougar softball started the season at 2-4 (W-L) with some great, competitive, close games. Their strongest
showing was their competition against the reigning State Champs, Garfield, where HNA’s unstoppable
defense and offensive teamwork led them to a victory! Chloë Saxton ’22 has hit a home run in each of
HNA’s past three games (+ counting) and has made a few clutch “Sports Center Top Ten” diving catches
on the field. Caroline Cappetto ’24 has taken a commanding presence on the pitcher’s mound against even
some of the biggest Metro League hitters, averaging 4.5 strikeouts per game. Cougar Softball is heating up
and looking forward to a strong finish to the season!
Varsity softball team
Tennis
Record Varsity: 3-1; JV: 1-3
Highlights Toni Besselaar ’21 diggin' deep to pull out the win in three, tough sets against Ballard in the varsity
match. Jennifer Berry ’22 is undefeated and is playing 1 Singles on the JV team.
Standouts Our two captains, seniors Morgan and Darby Hunter, who exemplify what it takes to succeed: they bring
enthusiasm, focus, leadership, and the "will to win" to every practice and match.

More Season 2 Highlights
Track & Field
Highlights The HNA track and field team is off to a fast start despite the
long layoff and short season. Several Cougars have already
set PRs during the first few meets of the season.
Standouts HNA Pole Vaulter, Ally Neiders ’22, cleared 13’9’’ to set a
new PR and school record in the meet at Rainier Beach on
May 13.
Sprinters (L-R): Maasai Thornton ’22, Ally
Neiders ’22, and Cosette Fleury ’22
Crew
Highlights HNA Crew had the privilege to travel down to
Vancouver Washington for the USRowng
Northwest Youth Championship Regatta last
weekend. With every athlete and coach required
to show proof of full vaccination and/or negative
COVID test, the regatta was significantly smaller
than normal years, but the racing was just as
exhilarating. Each athlete participated in a time
trial, followed by a six-lane, head-to-head race
over 1000m. For two-thirds of the team, all the
freshman and sophomores, this was their first
official regatta. HNA took home several silver
and bronze medals, and certainly had a great
showing of the depth of the team’s athletic
abilities. With six 8s and four 4s, along with a
handful of small boats, HNA showed up in full
force. A big thank you to the coaches and parents
for the 12+ hour days of travel, racing, and
logistics. The weekend was the best way this year
could have ended and will hopefully leave
HNA’s rowers hungry for more racing in the fall.
