California High School girls swim team members were recognized for their achievements and presented with certificates of recognition from the Whittier Union Board of Trustees during its July 13 board meeting.
WHITTIER – When California High School girls swim team members Hanna LaBrada and Kai Izquierdo first entered the world of competitive swimming, the two prodigies often found themselves battling against each other. Today, LaBrada and Izquierdo are part of an extraordinary group of young swimmers who are leading Cal High’s swim program back to championship levels.
After a season of dominating their Del Rio League opponents, The Cal High Lady Condors won the CIF Southern Section Division IV girls swimming championship with a scintillating performance that saw the team scoring nearly double the points as the second-place finisher, Riverside North. The team was recognized by the Whittier Union Board of Trustees during its July 13 meeting.

While working that wildfire, the Meadow Fallers – a firefighting-timber felling crew, found an injured six-week-old golden eagle.
“The oaks around it didn’t burn, they don’t tend to burn too well, so it had a little bit of shelter there, but the ground was definitely all black, singed and smoldering around where the eagle was standing,” Todd Jacobsen, a Wildlife Conflict Specialist with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, said.
