Cerritos College freshman swimmer
Stephanie
Rosero (Downey HS) has already shown that
she can make an immediate impact in the water. While on
the water polo team, she finished second in the state in
goals scored, while she was named the South Coast
Conference Most Valuable Player. In just the second
swimming meet of the season, Rosero has already broken
one school record and is a fraction away from breaking
another record. At the Mt. San Antonio Invitational over
the weekend, Rosero won two events and placed in the top
10 in three other events, to help lead the Falcons to a
10th place finish out of 23 teams. Cerritos
recorded 136 team points, with Sierra College winning
the meet with 599 team points. Only Chaffey College
finished ahead of the Falcons out of the six teams from
the South Coast Conference that competed in the
invitational.
The team will
now compete in their first conference meet of the
season, as they travel to El Camino College on Friday to
face the Warriors and Chaffey.

invitational of the year, Rosero set a new school record
in the 50-yard backstroke with a time of 29.31, while
she followed that with a clocking of 29.37 to finish in
first place at Mt. San Antonio. She also won the
200-yard backstroke with a time of 2:14.37 and came

in the meet and was just .01 second from tying the
school record set in 1979. Rosero also swam in the
