Note: In 2010 the Burbank High Athletic Hall of Fame inducted the 1975 CIF Champion girls’ softball team. Not only because they have won our only girls’ C.I.F. championship. They were the pioneers of female sports in the City of Burbank. Without them our sports at both schools would not be at the level that they are today. Sandy Yarritu was among the honorees and the award was accepted by her family.
She was killed in an automobile accident.
