Morro Bay High student/athletes, Lilah Green (left) and Sage Olivas of the Track & Field team are the school’s May 2025 Athletes of the Month.
As the school year winds down so too does the prep sports year at Morro Bay High School. The Athletic Boosters Club has named its final Athletes of the Month for the school year, and a pair of track runner and a jumper have been given the honorary nod for May 2025.
The Boosters have been honoring student athletes every month for several years now, as nominated by their coaches. The kids have been selected for their achievements on the field of battle and leadership off the field, as well as their sportsmanship and academic achievements.
“For the month of May, the MBHS Athletic Boosters would like to congratulate the following student/athletes: Lilah Green and Sage Olivas,” the Boosters Club said.
Boys and Girls Track and Field
Track Coach Jennifer Frere nominated Green and Olivas for the final honors for the 2024-25 school year. Green has done amazingly well during this her senior year, and in a variety of events.
“Lilah,” Coach Frere said, “is a 4-year track athlete for the Pirates. She competes in the sprints, hurdles, jumps and pole vault.
“Lilah always has a positive attitude and challenges herself at practice and meets. This year she qualified for the West Coast Relays and has set personal bests in the 100 meters, 200m, long jump and hurdles.”
Green is among the best long jumpers in the State. “She is currently ranked second in CIF for the Long Jump,” Coach Frere said. “Her goal is to continue track at American University in Washington, D.C. in the fall.”
Olivas is in his first year competing for the Pirates.
“Sage Olivas is a freshman stand-out,” Coach Frere said. “Sage competes in the sprints and just set a personal best in the 400m with an incredible time of 53.83 seconds.”
Olivas’ dedication to his sport goes above and beyond. “He challenges himself at every practice,” Coach Frere said, “doing the hard work that it takes to get stronger and faster. Sage also ran track at Los Osos Middle School and Cross Country for the Pirates this past fall. We are looking forward to great things from Sage in the years to come. Good luck at League Finals!”
The Boosters Club sends along it’s thanks to the coaches and the school. “For all the student/athletes and their coaches for the entire academic year of 2024-25, thank you from your Athletic Boosters! Your dedication and efforts are truly appreciated and you have helped make MBHS have another fantastic school year!”
Estero Bay News also wants to thank the coaches and student-athletes competing for MBHS this school year. You’ve done amazingly well and made your school and your community proud. Go Pirates!
