Theriot tops in Sea View

Newport Harbor High senior Trevor Theriot has been named Sea View

League Male Athlete of the Year and is a candidate for Orange County

Athlete of the Year, adding to his long list of accolades.

A star running back for the Sailors’ football team and a CIF

Southern Section Division II finalist in the shot put for the Newport

track and field team, Theriot will be attending the Orange County

Athlete of the Year dinner Monday.

Theriot rushed for 1,328 yards and seven touchdowns in the fall,

leading the Sailors to a 12-1-1 record and a Division VI title-game

appearance. He was named the division’s Co-Offensive Player of the

Year, along with Orange Lutheran’s Pat Roxas.

The senior will be playing linebacker for the South team in the

North-South Shrine game June 25, pitting the top graduating high

school seniors from Northern California against their Southern

California counterparts. He will also represent the South in the

Orange County All-Star game, July 8 at Orange Coast College.

Theriot, the Daily Pilot’s Newport-Mesa Player of the Year in

football, is competing in Saturday’s CIF track and field finals at

Cerritos College in the shot put. He qualified eighth in Saturday’s

preliminaries.

Walking on to play football at UCLA in the fall, Theriot was one

of the 12 finalists for the Wendy’s High School Heisman after leading

the Sailors’ football team to the seventh CIF championship game in

the program’s history.

Newport Harbor fell to Orange Lutheran in the championship game,

35-6. He was also an NFL Foundation scholarship winner, Newport

football’s team MVP and a two-time track and field letterman.
