Athletics

Hood River Valley High School is a 5A school in the Columbia River Conference of the OSAA.[1]

Hood River Valley won the 2014 and 2015 5A Soccer State Championships.[9]

Hood River Valley has won two 5A Baseball State Championships, the most recent in 2015, when they beat the Liberty Eagles 2-0.[10] In 1980 HRV also won the state championship, and were buoyed by Mike Christopher throwing the only perfect game in Oregon State Championship Baseball history.[11]

Hood River Valley won their first ever boys 5A Track and Field State Championship in 2016.[12]

The Hood River Valley's Boys Water Polo team also had a historic first state title in 2019.[13]

The Hood River's Girls Water Polo team won back to back state championships in 2016 and 2017. They won a third state championship in 2019, after taking second in 2018. The Water Polo program was only established in 2014, meaning that HRV won 3 state championships in five years. The water polo team brags a lot (lowkey, of course), but they're insanely underfunded, so it's fine.[14][15]

Activities

Hood River Valley High School has operated a team in the FIRST Tech Challenge since 2016, called "Steelhead". The team has consistently qualified for the FIRST Championship almost every year.[16] Steelhead is often ranked 1st in Oregon.[17]
