MENLO SCHOOL Since 1915
About the Team
The girls’ basketball team won its fourth consecutive CCS Championship—its longest streak since 2013-2015. Menlo advanced to the second round of the 2025 NorCals, falling only to the eventual state champion. Two Knights, Karen Xin ’25 and Ruiqi Liu ’25, joined Menlo’s 1,000-point club while also breaking into the record books: Xin for three-point goals made and total points, and Liu for rebounds and total points.
After landing their first CCS Championship in five seasons, the Menlo girls’ basketball team advanced to the NorCal Div. II semifinals in 2022. The section Div. IV champion Knights finished the season with an 18-8 mark. The Knights followed up as back-to-back CCS Div. IV champions in 2023 and won three NorCal match-ups to earn a trip to the NorCal Div. IV Championship. In a repeat, the Menlo girls’ basketball team made it three section titles in a row and first under new coach Ryan Cooper.
Menlo has established itself as a perennial playoff contender. In 2017-18, the Knights returned to the top-tier CCS Open Division playoffs. In 2015-2016, Menlo earned its first CCS Open Division bid in school history, and its highest finish in a quarter-century by advancing to the CIF Div. IV NorCal final. Three seasons earlier, Menlo claimed its first CCS championship since 1995, touching off a three-year run during which the Knights won the section Div. I V title.
