GLENDALE — The following are updates on area athletes at the collegiate level.

Christine Cho (Crescenta Valley High, 2008) Harvard sophomore golfer: Cho was sensational to the tune of a one-under-par 70 on Sunday en route to a two-day two-over-par 144 to take home individual championship honors at the Dartmouth Spring Invitational at the Cape Cod Country Club.

It was one of only two rounds turned in over the two-day tournament that was below par.

Cho’s efforts, which left her four strokes in front of teammate Claire Sheldon in second place, led Harvard to a 38-stroke win over second place Siena.

Cho was fourth overall with a four-over-par 76 in Harvard’s 298-326 win against Lynn University on March 27.

Next up for the Crimson in the spring season is this weekend’s Roar-EE Invitational.

Jesse Meaux (Glendale High, 2007) UC Santa Barbara junior pitcher: Meaux tossed the first complete game of his college career on Sunday, as the Gauchos bested Cal Poly, 10-3, in a Big West Conference game.

The former Nitro allowed three runs on eight hits, striking out three to no walks.

Meaux leads the UCSB staff with a 5-1 record. He’s posted a 4.38 ERA in just over 49 innings, having struck out 21 batters and walked nine.

UCSB is currently 15-12 and 2-1 in conference, with a three-game conference series set to start Friday against Cal State Fullerton.

Evan Simonitsch (St. Francis High, 2006) Loyola Marymount sophomore outfielder: Simonitsch hit the first home run of his collegiate career on Tuesday in LMU’s 6-5 West Coast Conference victory over Long Beach State.

The two-run shot also came on a day in which he drew two walks.

Simonitsch is working his way back into the lineup after he was sidelined by a knee injury before the season.

Thus far, he’s played in four games, starting two, and is hitting .429 with three hits in seven at-bats. His other two hits were doubles.

Joining him at LMU is Glendale native and Notre Dame graduate Trevor Gee, who had a pinch-hit and a run scored in Tuesday’s game and Ramiro Carreon, who played alongside Simonitsch at St. Francis.

Gee has played in nine games for LMU, which is 16-15 and 0-3 in conference. He’s hitting .231 with three runs batted in and a pair of runs.

Carreon is 2-3 on the year with a 5.36 ERA. He’s pitched a team-high 42 innings and struck out 28 to 12 walks.

The Lions return to action on Friday at Portland.
