Orange County Area Roundup : Volleyball Team Has Huntington Beach Flavor

Five Huntington Beach High School graduates and two of the top players in the nation form one of the favored teams in the United States Volleyball Assn. national championships Monday through Saturday at Wichita State University.

Steve Timmons, a member of the 1984 gold-medal U.S. Olympic team, and Bob Ctvrtlik, the 1985 NCAA player of the year from Pepperdine, join the SBE/Raymond Construction team, which finished second in the 48-team event last season.

Timmons and Ctvrtlik join Rocky Ciarelli, Mike D’Allessandro, Dan Glenn and Tom Pestolesi--all Huntington Beach graduates and members of last year’s runners-up--on a team coached by Golden West College Coach Albert Gasparian, also a Huntington Beach graduate. Glenn is the volleyball coach at CIF 4-A finalist Edison, Pestolesi at Estancia and Ciarelli at Huntington Beach. D’Allesandro coaches Edison’s junior varsity.

Timmons played at Newport Harbor, Orange Coast College and USC before joining the U.S. National team. Ctvrtlik, now a national team starter, was on Pepperdine’s 1985 national championship team. Mike Brawley, a former All-America at Cal State Long Beach and a graduate of Mission Viejo High, is on the team after sitting out last year’s tournament.

Scott Tinley, 1985 Triathlete of the Year and winner of last year’s Hawaii Ironman competition, is entering the June 1 Orange County Performing Arts Center Triathlon in and around Lake Mission Viejo.

The event needs volunteers to help during the 1.5K swim competition in the lake, the 35K bike race and the 10K run. Volunteers can assist in the safety stations, timing and results, start/finish line and more. If you wish to become a volunteer, call Deborah Kurilchyk at 966-8680.

The triathlon begins at 7 a.m. at Lake Mission Viejo’s East Beach. More than 1,000 athletes will compete for cash awards and prizes. All proceeds from the event benefit the Performing Arts Center, which opens in the fall.
