Rewriting GCC's history books

April 25 — The men's golf team qualifies for the Southern California Regionals. Vaquero Michael Timpson finishes the 36-hole competition by carding a 142 to earn medalist honors and helps Glendale college finish second in conference after it cards a 760 at the conference finals at Los Serranos Country Club's South Course in Chino Hills.

"It's just so phenomenal what the guys were able to get accomplished," Coach Greg Osbourne said. "What an accomplishment.

"I can't be more proud of the way the program was able to come together. We put in the work, they did it and anything can happen. Our goal now is to be able to advance to state as a team."

Timpson fires a first-round seven-under-par 67. He then shoots a 75 in the second round to best Brett Silvernail of Ventura and Aaron West of College of the Canyons by three strokes overall in the two-round event. Teammate Brennan Amirkhizi finishes with a two-round score of 148 to take sixth and achieve all-conference accolades.

April 28 — The Vaqueros put together an all-around game to defeat Bakersfield, 8-2, and capture the Western State Conference South division title for the first time since 2002. The win comes on the heels of Sako Chapjian's seventh-inning grand slam, which gives Glendale a 7-2 lead.

Sean Spear has two hits, one is a RBI triple in the sixth inning to give Glendale a 2-1 lead. He comes around to score on a squeeze bunt laid down by John Schwer before Chapjian blows the game open in the seventh. Josh Canales also has a solo home run. Glendale pitchers Nick Woodward, the starter, John La and Michael Noteware combine to hold the Renegades to two runs and five hits.
