Sonoma Valley’s Amy Stanfield gets All-Empire recognition

Amy Stanfield of Sonoma Valley High was named as the top girl Scholar-Athlete in All Empire awards, presented by the Press Democrat earlier this week.

A stellar multisport athlete at Sonoma Valley, Stanfield had her high school track career cut short by a knee injury. But she still was named the team MVP and was a two-time Meet of Champions qualifier.

She also led the Lady Dragons soccer team in scoring for three consecutive seasons, started at point guard on the basketball team as a sophomore, and qualified for the CIF state cross country meet.

In addition, Stanfield has been president of the Seeds of Learning Club, for which she traveled to Nicaragua the past three years to help build schools. She has done an internship with Tracking Mountain Lions through Audubon Canyon Ranch, and she’s president of the Wolf Club, leading the recycling effort at Jack London State Park.

She plans to attend UCLA in the fall.
