Falcons for all seasons

Nate Rousey defeats Burbank for the second time in the season and puts the baseball team in a virtual lock for second place as he goes the distance, allowing one run and four hits in his team's 8-1 win. Mulcahey and Elliott Surrey combine for seven runs batted in and each have four hits.

•May 12 — The boys' tennis team is dealt a 12-6 loss by Villa Park in the first round of the Division II playoffs, ending the Falcons' season with an 11-7 record.

•May 15 — At the CIF Southern Section Division I track and field prelims at Trabuco Hills High, three members turn in solid marks to move on to the finals. King clocks 5 minutes 8.72 seconds in the 1,600-meter run. Pham has a personal-best mark of 11:14.69 in the 3,200. Samvalian has a personal-best mark of 38 feet 3 1/2 inches in the shot put.

•May 15 — The boys' swimming team surges to a second-place showing in the CIF Southern Section Division II finals in Long Beach, tallying 191 points to Oaks Christian's 278.

"The competitive spirit they had today, they've had the whole season, and watching them just rise up to the occasion and put their best efforts in, it was just inspiring," Crescenta Valley Coach Jan Sakonju says. "Everybody put in a very strong day, I don't think there were any regrets."

Leading the way, Seo wins a CIF championship in the 200 IM, while Thai takes second in the 100 breaststroke and third in the backstroke. Seo also takes second in the 500, while a flock of other Falcons provide valuable points, particularly in the relay events, keyed by Veselich, who takes part in all three relays.

•May 17 — Timpson triple-bogeys his final hole and misses the cut by two strokes at the CIF Southern Section Northern Individual Regional in Oxnard.

Timpson's four-over-par 76 is a solid score, but good enough only for a seven-way tie for 38th.

"He certainly should have been moving on," says Falcons Coach John Pehar. "It's disappointing that one shot can knock you out like that, but that's the way it goes.

•May 18 — Seo puts a cap on an unbelievable freshman season, as he wins two Masters Meet titles, claiming the 200-yard individual medley in 1:50.71 and adding the 500 crown, in 4:32.91, to the day.

"He's so competitive, it's just fun watching him when he's down here in this environment," Sakonju says.
