Local Athlete Juggles Four Sports Season

Santa Clara High School junior Victoria Calvillo spent the 2025-26 school year moving from one varsity season to the next. She played volleyball in the fall, basketball in the winter, and this spring split time between softball and track, according to a May 20 profile by The Silicon Valley Voice. The arrangement required coordination from track coach Julie L’Heureux and softball coach Julie Kawamoto, plus help from Calvillo’s family, the report said. It also came less than a year after Calvillo recovered from a broken leg suffered in July, the newspaper reported. ### How did Calvillo handle two spring sports at the same time? Victoria Calvillo said she starts by checking with both coaches each day. “In the morning, before I get to school, I text both my coaches to which practice I should go to first,” she told The Silicon Valley Voice. She said she often spends about an hour at softball before heading to track, depending on whether a meet or a game is coming up next. (svvoice.com) The spring overlap was manageable in part because the competition calendars did not fully collide, according to the same report. Calvillo said only three softball games conflicted with track meets, and she said none of those were against Santa Clara’s biggest rivals. ### Which coaches made the schedule work? Julie L’Heureux, Santa Clara’s track coach, and Julie Kawamoto, the Bruins’ softball coach, worked together to let Calvillo divide her practice time, The Silicon Valley Voice reported. (svvoice.com) The article described the two coaches as coordinating so their athlete could remain active in both programs through the spring season. Roxanne Calvillo, Victoria’s mother, said the family had worried about burnout before the season. “It has been very positive,” she told the newspaper, adding that both coaches had been supportive and willing to use Calvillo whenever they could. Marc and Roxanne Calvillo were identified in the report as Victoria’s parents. ### What do her other sports show about her school year? (svvoice.com) MaxPreps listings for Santa Clara High School show Calvillo’s profile includes softball, basketball and volleyball during her high school career. A Sports Illustrated high school stats page also lists her as a Santa Clara girls basketball player, reinforcing that she moved from one team to another across the school year. (svvoice.com) The Silicon Valley Voice reported that Calvillo’s spring load came after volleyball in the fall and basketball in the winter. In a separate April 29 game story, the paper identified her as Santa Clara’s leadoff hitter and center fielder in softball, showing she remained a central contributor while also running track. ### How active was she during the spring season itself? (maxpreps.com) The Silicon Valley Voice reported on April 29 that Calvillo hit an inside-the-park home run in a Santa Clara softball win over Fremont. MaxPreps game reports from April and May also credited her with multiple-run and stolen-base performances, including a 3-for-3 game against Cupertino and a two-stolen-base outing against Fremont.
