SOCCER

Woodbridge High’s David Chun and Capistrano Valley’s Jordan Harvey didn’t play high school soccer this year because they were in Bradenton, Fla., training with the U.S. under-17 national team.

Nevertheless, they were still selected to the Parade All-American high school boys’ soccer team. Chun and Harvey, both juniors, will rejoin their high school teams next season.

* Southern California teams in the state Olympic Development Program won three national championships and had a second-place finish in the second U.S. Youth Soccer Championships in Las Vegas last weekend.

Titles were won in the under-18 boys’, under-16 boys’ and under-16 girls’ divisions. The under-18 girls finished second for the second year in a row.
