In the 50-yard
butterfly, Peng has been beating the competition
by at least three seconds and set the new school
record of 26.61 at the Golden West Sprint Meet.
She broke the 100-yard butterfly in the same
meet, posting a time of 58.11, in which her
closest competition was more than three seconds
behind. In addition, Peng has been a part of
record-breaking teams in the 200-yard freestyle
(1:44.14), 400-yard freestyle (3:47.89),
200-yard medley relay (1:56.48) and 400-yard
medley relay (4:17.50) races. Peng opened the
season by winning the Waterman Pentathlon
beating out 127 other swimmers based on
cumulative time in five events (which she won
two and came in second in another).
In the last
five months that the CCCAA and the California
Community College Sports Information Association
(CCCSIA) have awarded the Female Athlete of the
Month, three have come from Cerritos College, as
soccer players Corina Villegas
(December, 2008) and Monique Cisneros
(October, 2008) were the other award recipients.
Since the inception of the award in September,
2005, there have been six Falcons to win the
award, more than any other school in the state.
