Sacred Heart's mainstay caretaker, Breeana Koemans, delivered

Pacing the area with 16 home runs and a .731 average, Cookson collected 49 hits, including five doubles and three triples. She drove in 53 runs and scored 41 en route to being named to the All-Area first team. She was also named to the All-CIF Division III and All-Pacific League first teams.

"She's got to be [All-CIF]," Crescenta Valley Coach Mark Samford said. "I don't know who else has better stats than that anywhere, to be honest.

"It was great fun [coaching Cookson]. She's a great kid. That 16 home runs put her pretty high on the list for the state record. It was fun to watch her be mature about it and the approach she took. [She] never got up or down, she just came in, did her business and played really well and was a great teammate."

At the same league finals meet, she teamed with Katie Altmayer, Emily Balog and Meg Ryan to help the Tologs win the 200- (1:50.08) and 400-freestyle relays, the latter in a league- and meet-record 3:39.51.

At the CIF Division I finals, Vose took second in the 100 breaststroke in a personal-record 1:03.53 to help the Tologs finish 14th in the team standings.

In addition, Kevorkian won a pair of matches to advance to the third round of the CIF Individuals Tournament.

"Andrea showed me a lot in that she played well against some good players," Flintridge Prep Coach Ron Catano said. "She showed how strong mentally she can be."
