Falcons Fly High

Congratulations to the Cerritos College softball team, which won its first California Community College Athletic Association championship since 1978. The Falcons did so by knocking off Mt. San Antonio College, 5-1, in Sunday afternoon's championship game in the comfort of the 100-plus degree weather at Riverside's Orange Terrace Park.

Locals on the Cerritos team included Jennifer Salas (Cal-Hi), Stephanie Lomeli (Montebello HS), Vanezza Martin Del Campo (Pico Rivera resident) and Audrey Leyva (Montebello resident).

Locals on the Mounties runner-up team included Shelair Rowell (Santa Fe), Alex Martinez (Cal-Hi), Lisa Hernandez (Pioneer) and Liz Javier (Whittier resident).

Congrats to the Falcons and Mounties.
