Here’s a look at who turned out to be the top high school female athletes in the county:

Savannah Hardy, Pacific Grove >> Earning Herald all-county honors in basketball and softball, Hardy ignited the Breakers to Mission Division titles in both sports. Hardy averaged just under 15 points and 3.7 steals a game in basketball. She also pulled down 5.2 rebounds and dished out 2.3 assists a contest.

The Breakers ran off 12 consecutive wins — the second-longest streak in the basketball program’s storied history, posting the second undefeated league season in school history.

A two-time member of The Herald’s all-county softball team, Hardy hit .548 with a team-high .628 on-base percentage this past year, walking a team-high 12 times. The infielder also led the Breakers in doubles with 12, while hitting two homers, driving in 24 runs, scoring 29 runs, and collecting 40 hits. A defensive specialist and three-year contributor in volleyball, Hardy averaged nearly 15 digs a match.

Jennifer Rivera, Salinas >> One of two athletes to earn all-county honors in two different sports this past season, Rivera was also a Central Coast Section finalist in the discus in track and field. Serving as an outside hitter, the 5-foot-11 senior collected 230 kills and a team-high 50 blocks in helping the Cowboys to a Central Coast Section Division I volleyball title.

Staying on the hardwood, Rivera was dynamic on defense for the Pacific Coast Athletic League Gabilan Division champions in basketball, leading Salinas in rebounds, while averaging just under 11 points a contest.

A late arrival in the spring because of an extended basketball season, Rivera got better as the season progressed, capturing Gabilan Division titles in the shot put and discus.

Rivera was one of two athletes to earn all-league honors in three sports — the only one to achieve the feat in the Gabilan Division.

The senior unleashed the discus a career best 120 feet 6 inches at the league finals and heaved the shot 35-6, finishing in the top 10 in the section in the discus.

Aleena Salas, Greenfield >> Just a sophomore, the 5-foot-8 Salas evolved into one of the premier outside hitters in the county for the Cypress Division volleyball champions.

Salas compiled a school record 483 kills last fall to earn Most Valuable Player honors in the Cypress Division.

On pace to shatter the career county record for kills, Salas also finished with a county-leading 113 service aces and a team-high 350 digs.

The incoming junior earned all-league honors on the basketball court, averaging just under 13 points a game, while finishing among the team leaders in steals and assists.

Macey Torres, Stevenson >> Having committed to play lacrosse at UC Davis, Torres garnered league Most Valuable Players honors in two different sports this past season.

Torres was the Gabilan Division’s Most Valuable Player and Offensive Player of the Year in field hockey, after producing seven goals and 29 assists, helping the Pirates to a league title.

A defensive demon on the soccer field, Torres earned first-league all-league honors in helping the Pirates to a Cypress Division title. She finished with three goals and four assists for Stevenson, who captured the Santa Lucia Division title a year earlier.

An academic All-American in lacrosse, Torres produced 63 goals for the league champions, who went 10-0 in league, earning co-Player of the Year honors in the Gabilan Division.

Torres finished with 74 draws and 61 ground balls for the Pirates, creating 20 turnovers, all team highs.
