Over 150 students and 51 teams in the senior division competed during the 14- hour day. Of the 42 Lancers participating, Joshua Ng ‘19, Long Lin ‘19, and Jackie Henley ‘19 won first place for the Team Event and Jackie Henley finished 2nd for individual medals. “I’m proud of my Lancer Scholars, as they had less than three months to prepare for hundreds of pages of material,” said John Erb, moderator of the La Salle High School Academic Decathlon team, who coordinated La Salle’s hosting of the World Scholars Cup. He added that his students “even snuck in extra time for practice debates during long afternoons and they displayed that tenacity as multiple Lancer teams went undefeated. I hope this turns into a series of future personal successes for them at La Salle and in the future.” Not only did La Salle students win first place, but they also took 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th, and 10th place in the Team Event competition. The best overall award for collaborative writing went to Cristina de la Cruz ’18 with Evelyn Ogier ’20 finishing close behind in third place. La Salle’s team of Katie Nuzzi ‘19, Kees Hood ‘19, and Kate Mena ‘19 championed the overall Scholar’s Challenge multiple-choice test, with Josh Ng, Long Lin, and Jackie Henley finishing in 3rd place. Mark Camarena ‘18 scored the highest mark for the Social Studies part of the test while Katie Nuzzi scored the highest mark for Literature as well as the Special Area. After the school year ends in June, several of La Salle High School’s scholars will compete in Melborne, Australia in August. That team includes Katie Nuzzi, Kees Hood, and Kate Mena.

The funds are a result of the All In Baseball Games, an annual charity baseball tournament organized by local high schools in the greater Pasadena area. CHLA received a contribution of $6,000. “The All-In Baseball Tournament brings together some of the finest high school scholar athletes throughout Los Angeles, Ventura and Riverside counties. Their passion for competitive baseball and helping sick children is remarkable. CHLA is very fortunate to have these long-term relationships. We are grateful to the tournament organizer, Harry Agajanian and all of the players, coaches and parents that have supported this tournament for the past seven years,” said Robert Weiner, Vice President of Development for CHLA. La Salle’s baseball Director of Baseball Operations, Harry Agajanian, presented CHLA with the charitable contribution in the company of the La Salle High School Baseball team, along with student athletes and coaches from multiple schools that participated in the games. Children’s Hospital gave the entire group a tour of the campus and introduced the coaches and athletes to select patients, where the kids received signed baseballs and caps from the athletes. “This is a wonderful experience, not only for the kids in the hospital, but for our own student athletes as well. The greatest joy of living is the joy that comes from giving,” said Agajanian. The year’s event is the fourth annual All In Baseball Games. All In was first organized by Agajanian, who initially began the program in 2014 to give back to the community and promote La Salle’s baseball facilities to current and prospective athletes. The tournament’s goal is to foster community relations and promote athleticism in the form of playing baseball for children who might not have the playing skills the student athletes have. Since its creation, the All In tournament has expanded from its initial 24 team entries to 55 entries, with over $26,000 donated to the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles in La Salle High School’s name.
