While Austin-area basketball teams were eliminated in the Elite Eight (shout out to Westwood boys and Cedar Park/Vista Ridge/Westlake girls for making it the furthest), area soccer teams were just entering postseason play. Many multi-sport stars were honing their craft in track. Baseball/softball was just entering the start of district play.

Senior Prank: Cancelled

Senior Skip Day: Cancelled (even feels like we are doing it everyday)
