The Hood River Valley High School Athletic Department recently announced their Athletes of the Month for March and April: Parker Irusta (track), Ella Rand (girls lacrosse), Patrick Harvey (baseball), and Madè Vallejo (softball).

HRV athletes had another good weekend at the track, competing at the Dean Nice Invite in Gresham. The boys team, missing Sebastian Barajas, who was across town competing in the Nike Jesuit Twilight Relays, placed second overall, losing by 20 points to Marist — a team that narrowly beat HRV the previous weekend at the Summit Invite. The girls squad placed fifth of 15 teams.
