CdM girls scrapbook: CHAMPIONSHIP CENTRAL

CORONA DEL MAR - If Corona del Mar High girls athletics had its own

version of the ESPYs, voters would have plenty to choose from after the

1999-00 athletic year.

Cross country won CIF Southern Section and CIF State championships in

Division IV, track and field won the section Division III crown, and CdM

captured seven of the 10 Pacific Coast League team titles.

What’s more, water polo advanced to the Division II section title game,

while tennis, volleyball and soccer reached the CIF semifinals.

Basketball reached the CIF Division III-AA quarterfinals and led all CdM

girls teams with 22 wins.

Individual honors were even more plentiful, led by senior running

sensation Liz Morse, who won the state 800-meters title and was a section

champion in the 400, 800 and 1,600 relay. She was PCL Athlete of the

Year.

First-team All-CIF recognition was bestowed upon: Dmitra Havriluk and

Jamie Brownell (volleyball): Arin Hendrickson, Danielle Carlson and

Christina Hewko (water polo); as well as Allison Harvey and Elisha Morgan

(soccer).

Other stars included: Jenny Cummins and Diana Hossfeld (running); Jessica

Luchesi, Julia Livingston, Molly O’Meara and Britta Vogele (soccer);

Melinda Tucker and Lauren Guthrie (water polo); Kristin McCoy

(basketball); Anne Yelsey, Nadia Vaughan, Leslie Damion and Kristen

Griffith (tennis); Meghan Gallagher and Marissa Becker (volleyball);

Lauren Powers (swimming); as well as golfers Taylor McCormick and Allison

Schauppner.
