REV boys swimming relay teams stand out

When I was covering the CIF-SS Masters Swimming Meet on Tuesday at Belmont Plaza Pool in Long Beach, I neglected to mention that all three of the Redlands East Valley boys relay teams competed. Those three relay teams were the only boys relay teams from the entire San Bernardino County to compete at the Masters Meet.
And to make it even more remarkable, REV did not have a single individual boy qualify for Masters, either. (Tori Andreas did on the girls side.) It’s a cliche, but I guess it’s a case of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts.
The omitted relay team, the medley relay, was originally an alternate but got a shot to race and moved up from 20th best time coming in to 19th.

So, here are those relay teams:
200 medley relay (senior Shane Blake 26.23 seconds, senior Michael Gillotti 28.07, senior Taylor Glasgow 25.27, junior John Fee 22.06), 20th best qualifying time, finished 19th, 1:41.63.
200 freestyle relay (senior Taylor Adams 22.28, junior Michael Gardner 21.83, senior Ben Hamada 21.95, John Fee 21.88), 6th best qualifying time, finished 7th, 1:27.94.
400 freestyle relay (Shane Blake 48.66, Taylor Adams 49.35, Ben Hamada 50.02, Michael Gardner 48.53), 12th best qualifying time, finished 10th, 3:16.56.

Ayala was the only school from the county to have girls relay teams compete at Masters, but they had to settle for two of the three races. The 200 medley relay team was 11th and the 200 freestyle relay was ninth.

ACA advances to CIF title game

A technical error in the Sun this morning killed the writeup of this game, so I thought I’d do one of my own.

The No. 4-seeded Arrowhead Christian boys volleyball team got a gargantuan effort from senior outside hitter Will Quanstrom and setter David Shippee to advance to the CIF-SS Division 5 final with a four-game victory over Palos Verdes Chadwick in the semifinals late Tuesday.

The Eagles will face No. 2-seeded San Juan Capistrano St. Margaret’s in the D5 final Saturday at 1:30 p.m. at Cypress College. To get there, ACA defeated Chadwick 18-25, 25-23, 27-25, 25-18 thanks to the heroics of Quanstrom, who set a school record with 48 kills while adding 10 digs and seven blocks. Shippee had 50 assists for the Eagles while Josh Shaw had seven kills and nine blocks.

Utah suspends Shreve’s scholarship

The University of Utah has suspended the scholarship of Redlands East Valley quarterback/baseball player Tyler Shreve as a result of his February altercation with Redlands East Valley baseball coach James Cordes after Shreve was dismissed from the team. The school will reevaluate the situation in January, at which time it could reinstate Shreve if it chooses.

The link to the story can be accessed here. Shreve pleaded not guilty to charges of misdemeanor battery to a school employee and his pretrial hearing is set for May 27.
