Baseball
The Rams closed out their 2011 season losing their last 13 games in a row. City College finished with a record of 5-29.

Dan Brown was a bright spot in the Rams season. He led City College in batting with a 2.76 average and 14 RBIs, along with six doubles.

On the mound, Aaron Hartman led the Rams with a 7.52 ERA in 16 appearances. He had 31 strikeouts.

Softball
After struggling through conference play the last months of the season, City College’s softball team had smiles on their faces when they won their last game of the season against Mission College, 4-2.

The Rams finished their season with a record of 3-24. Despite their last place finish, City College batted .277 as a team and tied for third in the conference in home runs with 18.

Even though two of their leading hitters Megan McGuire and Luisa Sausedo are graduating, the Rams will still have shortstop Rae Walsworth and pitcher Yennifer Mendoza to take the reins next season.

Swimming
City College had a star in the California Community College Athletics Association Swim and Dive Championships held at East Los Angeles College in Monterey Park, Calif April 28-30.

Alyssa Stember finished seventh and 14th in the 50 and 100m backstroke, and is being considered for All-American status, coach Phong Pham, said, citing the fastest 16 swimmers in junior college swimming nationwide with times of 29.58 and 1:04.92. She was the Coast Conference champion in both events.
