High school flag football: California sophomore Azul Trujillo breaks national record with 9,503 passing yards during 2025 season

Sophomore quarterback Azul Trujillo not only led Vincent Memorial (Calexico, Calif.) to the San Diego Section Division II flag football title over the weekend, she broke the national record for passing yards in a season with 9,503.

In a 40-34 win over Imperial on Saturday, Trujillo completed 31 of 36 attempts for 376 yards and six touchdowns without an interception. She broke the previous record of 9,202 held by Victory Bragg of St. Mary's (Stockton, Calif.) that was established in 2024.

For the season, Trujillo completed 77.6 percent of her attempts with 112 touchdowns, tying her with Makena Cook of Orange Lutheran (Orange, Calif.) for most in the country. Her two-year totals stand at 14,297 passing yards – already the seventh-best career total in the sport's short history – with 180 TDs. Trujillo wasn't the only Vincent Memorial (23-6) standout breaking records during the Scots' championship season. Her top target Jessica Manriquez finished with 3,702 receiving yards, which tops the previous national record of 3,284 established by Jessie Giacomazzi of Agoura (Calif.) in 2024.

Girls flag football has been a sanctioned sport in California since 2023 and is the fastest-growing sport in the state, according to CIF participation census data. Fifteen other states feature the sport in sanctioned competition.
