Tars rip in great conditions

On a perfect morning for surfing, Newport Harbor High continued its

undefeated form for the seventh consecutive meet as the host Sailors

knocked off Calvary Chapel, beaten only once before, 87-18, at 56th

Street in Newport Beach off the jetty with sets running as high as

eight feet.

Newport won all four events -- boys short board, long board, body

board, and the combined girls short/long board competition.

The 7-0 Sailors scored 87 out of a possible 105 points in seven

heats, taking first place in five and placing 13 of the 21 top-three

positions.

Luke Serquiera won the first boys short board for the second

consecutive week with teammate J. J. Frei placing third.

Rob Delorme, Taylor Shaw and Christian Morabito completed the

Harbor second-heat sweep, while Steve Farmer was first in the third

heat with Joe Riggio taking second. The fourth team heat had Reagan

Ritchie, Charlie Buckingham and Andrew Nahin taking second, third and

fourth places.

The Newport body boarders led by Matt Kretschmar (first place for

the third time this season) with Daniel Mathews and Cameron White

taking third and fourth places. Kretschmar scored the high individual

wave score of the day with a 6.0.

The long boarders remained unbeaten led by first-place finisher

Chase Smith, while Bennet Schlesinger took third.

The girls combined short/long board team was lead by Jill Austin

and Lisa Turk, who were second and third, respectively.

Newport Harbor faces Dana Hills on the road at 6:15 a.m. Thursday at Salt Creek Beach.
