Our Boys and Girls<br />
Varsity Water Polo teams<br />
both won WCAL league<br />
and playoff championships on their way to winning<br />
Central Coast Section Division II championships.<br />
When you combine these achievements with the<br />
unparalleled success both teams had in national level<br />
tournaments this season, no other school in northern<br />
California had more collective success in both girls<br />
and boys water polo programs than <strong>Sacred</strong> <strong>Heart</strong><br />
Prep…quite a memorable, and fantastic season!<br />

Jersey Retired<br />
for Christy<br />
Galvin<br />
On Thursday,<br />
Sept 6, the class of<br />
1997 gathered to<br />
remember Christy<br />
Galvin’s life and Erin Moix Grieb (SHP ’97)<br />
remembered Christy at the<br />
her dominance on ceremony.<br />
the volleyball court.<br />
Christy was an outstanding student and athlete<br />
and was loved by all. She died on July 4, 2005.<br />
The Athletic Department, along with the Alumni<br />
Association and the class of 1997 retired her #9<br />
jersey.<br />
A graduate of <strong>Sacred</strong> <strong>Heart</strong> Prep, she led her team<br />
to state volleyball titles in 1996 and 1997. Galvin<br />
received her bachelor’s degree in International<br />
Studies from UNC Charlotte in December of 2001.<br />
She was a four-year starter and letter winner for the<br />
49ers from 1997-2000. Galvin’s standout four-year<br />
career as an outside hitter put her near the top of the<br />
school’s all-time charts in a variety of categories. She<br />
is the all-time leader in attack attempts, and as one of<br />
the program’s best two-way players, still ranks third<br />
in both kills (1,564) and digs (1,261). A remarkably<br />
consistent player, Galvin played in 471 of a possible<br />
479 games at UNC.<br />
Father Tom Moran presided<br />
over the opening and the<br />
blessing of the new field<br />
house.<br />
