The girls' squad, coached by Kim, scored 177 points, while the boys, headed by Loporchio, collected an impressive 342 points to each take first place in the day-long tournament that featured 27 girls' and 20 boys' teams. It was the Crescenta Valley boys' fifth consecutive tournament title and the girls' first. ``We've got a lot more headliners this year and that's big-time points,'' Kim said. ``In the past, we've had a lot of role players, but we couldn't get the big scores.''

(Sean Winshell qualified in the 100 backstroke during Friday's invitational.) ``I give credit to the depth and the quality of swimmers we have,'' Loporchio said. ``It's the deepest team I've coached in the last six years, including the 1993 team that won (the Southern Section title). They're tremendously skilled swimmers, and they push each other to excel.'' Individually, Foothill League athletes emerged strongly as Saugus High's Heather Boylan and Hart High's Ryan Parmenter and Anthony Ervin Anthony Lee Ervin (born May 26, 1981 in Burbank, California) to a white mother and a black father, is an American swimmer who won the gold medal in the Men’s 50m Freestyle at the 2000 Summer Olympics, finishing with the same winning time as Gary Hall Jr. each won two events. Parmenter's winning times (1:42.42 in the 200, 4:39.32 in the 500) broke the meet records he set last year. ``I didn't even know I had those records until I came here and looked at the program,'' Parmenter said. ``Once I found out, it became my goal to beat those times.'' Ervin's first win of the day (46.27 in the 100 free) also exceeded a meet record he set last year. His second victory came in the 200 individual medley (1:57.16). Boylan won the 200 free (1:55.63) and set a new meet record with her finish in the 500 free (5:02.67), swimming .09 seconds faster than Rio Mesa's Sara Nichols did in 1993. That put a smile in the USC-bound senior's face, who said she dedicated the wins to her mother, Debbie, who could not attend the meet because she is recovering from back surgery. ``Her surgery's been on my mind for the past couple of months. I've been worried,'' Boylan said. ``But things went OK, (and) I'm swimming for her since she can't be here.''
