Athletics

Sylmar's athletic program has flourished in the Los Angeles City Section. Particularly in football, the Spartans have won two city titles under former head coach Jeff Engilman, in 1992 and 1994. Since then, the Spartans have had plenty of^{[clarification needed]} 10+ win seasons making playoffs but have fallen short of advancing to the championship games. Engilman retired from coaching in 2003 with London Woodfin, the offensive coordinator, taking the reins. In Woodfin's first season as head coach in 2004 the team went 9–3 and lost to Dorsey High School 55–13 in the playoffs. The closest Sylmar has gotten to making the championship game was in 2005, losing to Taft High School 48–28 in the semi-finals when Sylmar finished the season 12–1. Sylmar had running back C. J. Gable at the time. In 2014, the Sylmar football team made it to the Division 2 championship game, losing 58–31 to Hamilton High School. It has two City Division-I baseball titles: 1973 and 1980.
