Long Beach Poly Wins Four Academic CIF-SS Championships, Highlighting Strong Local Group

Long Beach Poly Wins Four Academic CIF-SS Championships, Highlighting Strong Local Group

By: Mike Guardabascio

No high school in California has won more championships on the field than Long Beach Poly, which boasts record-high totals of 134 CIF Southern Section and 38 CIF State team titles; just last school year they were named the second-best girls' sports program in the CIF-SS in the Commissioner's Cup race. Those marks are in addition to countless individual championships, and more professional athlete alums across all sports than any other high school in America, according to MaxPreps. But the Jackrabbits' motto is the Home of Scholars and Champions, and this year the school's students proved that the “Scholars” part of that slogan is as true as the “Champions.”

Remarkably, he's won 11 of the last 22 IndyCar races he's run in, and he has taken a podium spot in fully half of the races he's run in his career. For the non-racing fans reading this, there's not really a way to put into words how truly insane those numbers are.
