As she savors a region championship in winter competition, Yorktown High School’s Kaiya Ovando now turns her attention to the spring athletic season.
But first, a quest for a state title looms.
It used to be the Yorktown Patriots couldn’t win a region championship. The girls high-school swimming and diving team would finish first in district and state meets, but not the region.
No more.

Led by a victory from Liam Keish, a versatile performance by Travon Buckner and other top individual finishes, the Wakefield Warriors placed second in the boys 6D North Region track-and-field championships.
Wakefield scored 59 points in the two-day meet Feb. 13-14. The first day’s events were held as scheduled in Prince George’s County, the second day being moved to Episcopal High School in Alexandria owing to weather. The South Lakes Seahawks won with 119.
As expected, seniors Cambyses Khani and Basheer Hadi repeated as region wrestling champions this season for the Yorktown Patriots.
Khani won the 6D North Region tournament title at 120 pounds and Hadi was the heavyweight winner at the 285 weight class. Each had 3-0 records in the high-school competition, hosted by Centreville High School.
A standout individual performance and top relay finishes were big reasons the Washington-Liberty Generals won a region indoor track-and-field championship.
In addition, there were other key contributors as the Generals achieved the girls high-school title for the first time.
