Ali Hinga

Hall of Fame Class of 2009

 

Ali Hinga (class of 2000) – A multiple All-League and All-County volleyball and basketball selection, Ali was also a multi-SCCAL medalist in track & field, competing in the high jump, 400m, and 300m hurdles. She helped the Mariners win four consecutive SCCAL track & field titles. In volleyball, Ali was the starting middle blocker for two years, and in her senior year, she helped the Mariners to an undefeated league season and an SCCAL championship. However, it was on the basketball court where she had her most notable achievements. As a four-year varsity starter, Ali scored over 1000 points and grabbed over 1000 rebounds. She is the charter member of the 1000/1000 club. In 1997, Ali was the SCCAL Frosh-of-the-Year, and in 2000, she was selected to the All-CCS first team. In 2000, Ali was also selected (along with her then high school sweetheart and now husband, Brian Nevitt) as the SCCAL Player-of-the-Year and as the Santa Cruz Sentinel Scholar Athlete-of-the-Year. In addition, she was the Aptos High School Female Athlete-of-the-Year. Ali attended the University of San Diego on an academic scholarship after high school. At USD, Ali played on the women’s basketball team, played on the USD women’s club volleyball team for two years, and rowed for the crew team for one season. After graduating magna cum laude from USD, Ali and Brian spent a year travelling through Central and South America. Subsequently, Ali has graduated from the U.C. Davis School of Law, where she was the national moot court champion, and today she works as a federal law clerk for Judge John A. Mendez in Sacramento. Ali was presented into the Hall by her husband, Brian.
