Kate Marek helped Del Oro’s JV basketball team win a league title and finish 23–1 as a freshman. This fall, she started at outside linebacker for the varsity flag football team and averaged 3.9 flag pulls per game. Now the Class of 2029 sophomore has earned a spot on Del Oro’s varsity basketball team for the 2026–27 season.
Marek plays point guard and shooting guard. She averaged 9.7 points per game as a JV starter and has recorded 78 career steals. On the flag football field, she can play middle or outside linebacker. She considers speed and quickness her biggest strengths because they help her cover ground on defense and react quickly to what she sees on the court or field.
Marek credits her family and her competitive drive for motivating her. She takes pride in being a good teammate and bringing a positive attitude to practices and games, especially when things get tough.
This winter, Marek wants to help Del Oro win an SFL basketball championship. Over the rest of her high school career, she hopes to keep playing both sports at the varsity level and earn a scholarship to play flag football in college.
