So much for a sophomore slump.
Tenth-grader Camille Chapus did it all year round at Harvard-Westlake High, becoming the school's first state cross country champion in the fall, leading the Wolverines to their first CIF Southern Section soccer title since 2001 in the winter and winning the Mission League 3,200-meter race and running on the school-record 1,600 relay at the state preliminary meet.
When not winning with the Wolverines, Chapus is playing club soccer for the Westside Breakers.
Drake Johnston finished off his first year of high school track on a positive note. In June, he represented the South Orange Wildcats in the USATF Junior Olympic Association at Cerritos College. The 15-year-old from Palisades High placed seventh in his division in the 1500 meters with a personal-best time of 4:26. He was second in the 3,000 meters in 9:35.
He qualifed for the Junior Olympic Regional meet in Las Vegas, taking fifth in the 1500 in 4:29 and fourth in the 3,000 meters in 9:39.37.
At the USATF Youth Nationals in Lisle, Illinois, Johnston was second in the steeplechase with a personal-best 6:56; fourth in the 3,000 meters with a personal-best of 9:23 and was fourth in his 1,500 heat in a personal-best 4:19.
Palisadian Amanda Lisberger helped her Camarillo Eagles' U23
women's soccer team to a 2-1 victory over the Arizona Rush Nike in the finals of the U.S. National Soccer Championships last Sunday in Kansas. The Eagles became only the second women's team in history to win three age-specific national soccer titles, having previously won in 2004 as a U14 team and three years later at the U17 level.
Lisberger plays for the University of Texas and played for the Santa Clarita Blue Heat in the USL W-League this season. She graduated as the all-time scoring leader at Brentwood School.
Bryant Falconello competed in the Optimist International Junior Golf Championships last weekend at PGA National Resort and Spa in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Falconello, who is entering eighth grade at Calvary Christian School, played in the boys' 12-13 age division. He finished 71st in a field of 90, shooting 82-86-82 on the Palmer Course for a three-day total of 250.
