The incredible
Xavier College Prep (Phoenix) athletic department churned out some more championships last weekend when the volleyball team won its fourth consecutive 5A-I title. No other 4A or 5A girls volleyball program has ever accomplished that feat.
And no other girls athletic department can match Xavier's dominance. The Gators also won their 25th girls state swimming and diving championship in the Division I championships at Kino Aquatic Center in Mesa while Xavier sophomore Sarah Fakler won the girls Division I cross country championship at Cave Creek Golf Course to spark her team to victory.
Last season, the Gators swept all of the fall team titles. The only things preventing a repeat were the Chaparral (Scottsdale) badminton team, which downed Xavier in the Division I team final, 5-2, and the Hamilton (Chandler) golf team, which topped second-place Xavier for the team title.
