About the Team

Menlo School’s track & field program has had memorable moments and a strong list of outstanding individuals in its history.

The Knights track & field teams posted one of their most successful seasons in program history in 2023. Six Menlo School athletes–runners and jumpers–qualified for the state meet. The Knights boys’ 4x800 team (Justin Pretre ’23, Aiden Deffner ’23, Will Hauser ’25, and Landon Pretre ’25) set a Central Coast Section record and secured a place in the history of the inaugural season of the event in the state final with their time of 7:39. The boys placed third, becoming the smallest school with the highest podium team finish in CCS Championships history.

Herbert Fleishhacker ’25 was the first athlete in San Mateo County history to capture a title at the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) meet when he won the shot put (12 pound and 16 pound) in 1925. More recently, Libby Jenke ’05 won the state title in the 800-meter race in 2005. In 2012, the boys’ and girls’ teams each won the West Bay Athletic League crown for the first time. The girls have won five titles in the last six seasons, including a current three-year run 2015-2017.
