Despite not having a home field, our Boys' Soccer team has qualified for State for seven years and were seeded #5 in 2011. Our Girls' Soccer team qualified for State for the first time this year (2011) after being only one victory away last year.
Our Varsity Boys' Basketball program has qualified for State four times and has always attracted quality atheletes. Our Girls' Basketball program is strong and proactive, poised for success. Additionally, we consistently build our Middle School and JV programs to prepare our athletes for Varsity play.
Our Volleyball Girls are hardworking and focused. Though they have not yet qualified for post-season play they now believe that they are ready to turn the corner.
In 2010, our Girls' Track & Field team broke a state record in the 400m relay and we are defending State champs in both the 400m and the 800m relay. Our Girls came within seven points of bringing home a team state title.
Our Baseball team was on an 18-game win streak and ended the season with a 22-3 overall record two years ago. We are now in a rebuilding phase and working diligently to expand the program.
Athletics are open to all and there is a 'no cut' policy, meaning all students who try out for a team will play to some degree. For more details and up-to-date game information, contact Athletics Director, Frankie Lucero on 505-231-3374 or flucero@montedelsol.org
As we do not yet have our own gym or soccer field, many practices and home games take place either at Genoveva Chavez Community Center, Ft. Marcy Complex or the Municipal Recreation Complex (MRC) fields off Hwy. 599 depending on the sport and season. Our Basketball team was first in the District in 03-04, qualified for regionals in 04-05 and state in 05-06. Go Dragons!
Now in our eleventh year, we are in the design phase of a gym on our adjacent four acres and are actively seeking funding to begin construction. If you love school sports and would like to support our athletics programs in any way please contact Monte del Sol Board President, Ken Joseph, at kjoseph@montedelsol.org
