Redfearn is the MVP for varsity softball and JV tennis. She was also league MVP and received the Coach’s Award for softball, soccer and golf. Redfearn intends to study chemistry at UC Berkley this fall.
Grayden served as captain of the golf team and played varsity for four years. He was also OC Athlete of the Year in 2013 and 2014. Grayden plans to study engineering at Purdue University.
