Here is some info on recent events for the seniors:
February 7, 2008

2008 has gotten off to a great start and here are some updates for you. On the graduating senior front, the following have committed to a university this fall:

Tammy Choy- Loyola Maramount University
Liv Jensen- University of California at Berkeley
Alex Navarro- University of Pittsburgh
James Thivierge- Texas Christian University

We have several other seniors on the verge of making decisions, but I wanted to congratulate the seniors who have already made their choice.

On a personal front, Tisha and I had the great pleasure of going to Beijing, China last month for a week. We had a chance to visit some of the Olympic sites as well as some of the major tourist sites. We also got to watch a couple of Chinese teams train. Culturally, it was an amazing trip and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested!

The senior group just came off the heaviest training of the year during the holidays. Over a two week period, I threw everything at them including the kitchen sink. There were 10 seniors who managed to be 100% over the holiday period. They were:

Thomas Agasid
Tammy Choy
Colleen Fotsch
Donald Fotsch
Monica Garcia
Ryan Garcia
Liv Jensen
Kei Masuda
Michael Ngo
Mark Prior

Congratulations on a job well done!!
Our January meets include the Cal Invitational an Zone 1 North Championships. For the second straight year, PASA won the team title over DACA at Zones. There were numerous outstanding efforts made by the seniors, but I was most proud of the fact that they made posters for the team, lead cheers and stayed on saturday to cheer for the younger kids in the afternoon session. Thank you for a great team effort.

We will be competing in the following meets in February:

CAB Sr Meet- Feb 16th only
PASA C/B/A+- Feb 23-24
Clovis Sr Meet- Feb 28-March 2nd

I look forward to the upcoming competitions and best of luck to everyone for a successful spring!!

Thanks,
