As of this year, girls flag football is a CIF-recognized sport. For Lompoc High School, they didn't waste the opportunity to make history thanks, in part, to the forwardness of athletic director Claudia Terrones in an athletic director's meeting at Nipomo High School last year. 'Right away I raised my hand and said, Lompoc will have a team without even knowing we had the numbers,' Terrones recalled. It turns out, participation wouldn't be a problem. According to Terrones, to start the season, Lompoc fielded 27 players including a few of her own family that included two of her daughters Tara and Tiana Terrones and assistant coach/husband, Paul Terrones.
