PASADENA, CA – (May 8, 2018) – A team of La 
Salle High School’s scholars took home a multitude 
of awards after the school hosted the Regional 
Round for the World Scholars Cup on Monday, 
April 30, 2018. 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.

LA SALLE HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS PRESENTS 
CONTRIBUTION TO CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL LA 
FROM ALL IN BASEBALL GAMES

PASADENA, CA – (May 8, 2018) – La Salle 
High School’s Baseball team, along with 
players and coaches from six other schools, 
presented a charitable contribution to the 
Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles (CHLA) on 
April 30, 2018. 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.

High School, contact Keira Wight at kwight@
