The Spring athletic season is off to a fast start with multiple teams having unprecedented success in the opening month. This upcoming week will also feature one of Dublin High School’s signature events of the year, as well as the first Senior Night.

The featured events highlighting a busy week for Dublin High Athletics include the Dublin Distance Fiesta, which is taking place in the Stadium on Friday, March 21st from 2:00-10:00 p.m. and Saturday, March 22nd from 8:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m. Thousands of the West Coast’s fastest distance runners will descend upon Dublin High School to compete in one of the largest high school track events in the country. Two-day passes are selling for $21 while one-day passes are $14 each.

In addition, the Stunt team will be the first spring sport to have its Senior Night, as it is Dublin High’s turn to host the rotating East Bay Athletic League competitions in its Sports Complex. There will be five contests in total starting at 4:00, but the Dublin High seniors will be honored at 6:00 before its 6:30 matchup against Foothill. The Stunt team has won its first two games of the year, defeating Dougherty Valley for the first time ever by a score of 22-7 in its opener and then squeaking past Carondelet 14-12 on Friday.
