* WATER POLO: Erica Horman, a junior on the UC Irvine women’s
water polo team, received All-American honorable recognition by the
American Water Polo Coaches.
Horman is the all-time leading scorer at UCI with 173 career
goals. Her total of 65 goals this season broke her own school record
of 57 set in 2002.

wins, the first-ever win over a top-10 opponent and a ninth-place
finish in the MPSF Championships. The Anteaters (20-21, 1-9 in the
MPSF) finished the season ranked 14th in the country after being
ranked as high as 12th this season.
Thune, Hall do not advance
* TRACK AND FIELD: Vanguard University runners Jenny Thune and
Sarah Hall represented the Lions track and field team at the NAIA
National Outdoor Championships Thursday night in Olathe, Kansas.
In the women’s 800 meters preliminary, Thune recorded a time of
2:24, finishing 17th. Thune missed advancing to the next round, as
the top 16 runners moved on.
In the women’s 10,000 meters final, Hall finished 10th out of 26
runners, tallying a time of 38:49. The race marked the end of a great
