The Pacific Grove Breakers took on Monte Vista Christian in a thrilling meet that saw the boys' team secure a strong 81-61 victory, while the girls battled hard but fell short, 56-79. PRs were set, personal bests were shattered, and one very special debut took place—introducing the "Magic Fingers" technique in the pole vault.

Distance events saw Antony Gabrik dominate and take the gold in the 1600m (4:35.52) and 3200m (10:24.72), while Betinho Zunguze (2:13.80) and Tadeo Ortiz (2:14.36 SR) kept the 800m competitive. Rahul Kumar pulled off a JV 400m/300m hurdles sweep (1:04.44, 56.21 PR), proving he's got both speed and stamina.
Field events delivered major points, with Gideon Llantero winning both shot put (36-03.50) and discus (108-07), and Matias De La Garza right behind in both events (35-03.75 shot put, 101-06 PR discus). In the jumps, Sergen Serttunc (20-06 PR, long jump) and Trenton Maciel (5-06, high jump) kept the Breakers flying high.
