1999 TORREY PINES FALCONS
FIELD HOCKEY 

Fieldin’ Fine
Imagine what it must have been like. Practice everyday: running, stretching, maneuvering, blocking, yelling, and yearning to be the best.  The Girls’ Field Hockey teams were tough and not just because they played with sticks.  The junior varsity team started off the season with rigorous conditioning.  However, most of the year dealt with developing each player’s fundamentals.  “I’ve gotten quicker with the ball which helps me a lot as an offensive player,” explained Ashlee Singer.  The players’ efforts resulted in a more focused and unified team.

The varsity team overcame its own set of trials.  The season began with a rocky start: two immediate losses tested the team’s confidence.  Yet the players were resolute and made every effort to reach their full potential.  “In the beginning, everyone would handle the ball themselves, but we learned to pass more and trust one another on the field,” shares Alex Robbins.  The turning point in the season happened when the team upset its rival La Costa Canyon.  “Our win inspired us to practice harder.  If anyone doubted our talent and ability, we proved them wrong,” declared Megan Dietz.  More importantly, the players proved that they had what it took to master the game.

The TPHS Field Hockey Archives were assembled in 2008 in an attempt to document the history of the Torrey Pines Field Hockey Program. Unfortunately we didn't have a team website prior to 2003 (with the exception of a student-created website of the 2000 season). The Archives were created by the efforts of Joe Yogerst, Kari DiGiulio, and Analia Carlson. Former players, parents of players and coaches: to please send us whatever information that might have from the past that could help us fill in the missing years!
