[edit] Athletics
Marina's athletic teams are known as the Vikings and the school colors are navy blue, columbia blue, and gold. They compete in the Sunset League of the California Interscholastic Federation's Southern Section. Marina has no on-campus stadium and plays most of its football home games at nearby Westminster High School. Marina's varsity football team is well known for being recently bad, and has ended several of the last few seasons without winning a single game. Their new coach, Petrone is said to be able to "revive" the team. Instrumental Players include: Tim Attencio, Connor King, and Brad Thompson.
In 2005, Marina's Varsity Field Hockey team played an undefeated season of 13-0 and took both the Sunset League Championship as well as the CIF Championship.
In 2007, Marina's Varsity Basketball team broke the California mark for three-pointers made in a game, twice hitting 28 in a contest, and later broke the national high school record for threes in a season when Mike Kinoshita sank No. 383 in a Feb. 2 win over rival Edison High. The Vikings would finish the year with 437.
The rival sporting schools for Marina include Westminster High School, Huntington Beach High School, Edison High School, Ocean View High School and Fountain Valley High School.
