JESSICA VARADY
LIVERMORE SOFTBALL
Varady is one of the best pitchers in the East Bay, and she can do damage with the bat as well. In a 1-0 win over San Ramon Valley on March 25, the senior pitched a shutout and also knocked in Livermore's only run with a third-inning single. In a 6-1 win over Amador Valley a week later, Varady allowed just three hits to improve to 4-0 on the season.
DASH OLIVER
CASTRO VALLEY BOYS' TRACK
Oliver made a powerful statement at the Stanford Invitational on March 22, winning the 100 and letting the rest of the competition know that he's back at 100 percent after suffering a major knee injury last summer. His time of 10.63 was the best in the state as of press time, and significantly faster than the 11.03 he ran to finish second at the NCS meet last year as a junior.
