Standings after 3rd Quarter

1) FD/AOLG: 51 points – The Frougars swept both team tennis titles. FD was the basketball runner-up in a thrilling championship game and the boys rugby repeated as champions. The Cougars were runner-ups in softball and rugby.  

2) GW: 30 points – The Lady Geckos continued their dominance in rugby and may just be the greatest dynasty of any Guam prep program. Boys rugby was runner-up for the second straight year.

3) JFK: 27 points – The Lady Islanders pulled off five wins total to take the softball title to keep the Islanders trend of winning a title every quarter alive.

4) St. John’s: 18 points – The golf titles put the Knights in a high spot, but their second place finish in boys soccer would be the last notable point earners given they have no rugby or softball teams.

5) Guam High/Sanchez: 14 points – The Panthers picked up playoff wins in basketball and softball. Sanchez secured 3rd place in boys rugby, basketball, and softball.

6) St. Paul: 13 points – The warriors rolled to an undefeated regular season and playoff run to the championship.

7) Okkodo/Southern: 10 points – Southern placed 3rd in girls rugby.

8) ND, Harvest, and Tiyan: 4 points – The Titans made it in the girls rugby semifinals.

QUICK HITS

Guam’s Wayne Blas completed his 13th Boston Marathon and 38th marathon overall.
The island’s record holder in the distance, Blas finished this year in 2:35:21.
“I’m very happy with this result because seven months ago, I was sidelined with a stress fracture that kept me out for three months. No running! To come back on an abbreviated marathon build and finish one of the toughest races strong and healthy was a big win for me.”
His time of 2:29:38 at the 2023 Chicago Marathon and World Marathon Majors Age Group Championships stands as the Guam National Record.
