SWIMMER JEREMY PADILLA ADVANCES AT CIF
RIVERSIDE, CA; (05/09/2012): The Division 4 Preliminary CIF Finals were held at the Riverside Aquatics Center at Riverside City College this morning. The Jaguars sent four swimmers who make up the 200-yard Men's Medley Relay Team; seniors Luis Serrano and Ben Duong along with juniors Jeremy Padilla and Eduardo Cervantes. The Ontario relay team came in 23rd place, seven spots out of advancement as only the top 16 finishers advance to the CIF Finals scheduled for Friday.
Jeremy Padilla, who was seeded based upon his then best time of :58.21 in the Men's 100-yard Fly, competed a short time later. Padilla won his heat outright in the CIF Prelims while beating his personal best by nearly 1 1/2 seconds, at :56.79. His time seeded him in the 12th spot assuring his advancing to Friday's Finals. His time was enough to keep him as the overall best in the Mt. Baldy League. Chino's Matthew Rohde was the only other Mt. Baldy League 100-yard Fly swimmer to advance in the 16th position with a time of :57.27.
Padilla is the only Ontario Jaguar still in contention. Best of luck to him!

SACRAMENTO, CA; (05/06/2012): "I'm going to love feeding the squirrels, hanging out under the trees, and living in a really beautiful place," Ontario senior Zulena "Zully" Cruz told WeRtheO.com. Cruz has been offered a partial scholarship to become a Hornet on the Sacramento State Women's Rowing Team. Ontario Athletic Director, Rhonda Purwin was asked about potential candidates by members of the Sac State Coaching Staff and immediately recommended Cruz. "Zully is great. She is a strong young lady who works hard and really deserves this. The change of environment is going to suit her well and I know she's going to make us all very proud," Purwin said.

Cruz was surprised by the recommendation and ultimately surprised her parents, who didn't even know she was considering Sac State until she was headed for the airport. "It was a surprise for them but they were happy for me." Cruz said that her visit was very fruitful and that the staff and team were very welcoming. "They made me feel at home. The girls were great and I'm looking forward to getting up there. The coaches were great and I loved the campus. You can't believe how many trees there were. It was awesome."
Cruz has been a major player on the Ontario's Swim Team and Girls Water Polo Team since her freshmen year.
SENIORS SWEEP JUNIORS IN 2012 POWDERBUFF VOLLEYBALL
ONTARIO, CA; (05/05/2012): Ontario's seniors were too much for the juniors in the annual PowderBUFF Volleyball Game. The game is similar to the PowderPuff Football Game played each year, with the boys and girls reversing roles. Since Ontario doesn't have a men's volleyball team, the senior and junior boys play each other while the senior and junior girls act as the coaches. The game is then played in front a paying crowd in a fundraising effort.
