I am Juan Torres, 10th year teacher at Pomona Catholic, previously at Our Lady of Lourdes in Montclair and St. Paul HS in Santa Fe Springs.  I am a Class of ‘81 graduate of Arroyo HS in El Monte. My high school cross country program was deemed the team of the 80s having won numerous CIF titles—including national #1 rankings and the first ever California State Champion—in that decade.  I was also a member of the state championship cross country team at Citrus College, and I set the conference record in the 3000 m steeplechase my sophomore year. I went on to compete at CSU Fullerton and was the number two/three man on the team.  I was named captain of the team at each school that I ran cross country.  At St. Paul HS most every track distance record has set while I was coach.  I have two daughters who have attended PC: Sara, Class of 18, and Katherine, Class of 21, who has been a key member of the varsity volleyball team.

I am Coach Roger Wallace. I am beginning my 31st year teaching at Pomona Catholic.  In my time here I have coached golf for almost 10 years. Previously was the softball coach as well…where we won multiple CIF titles as well as a state championship. Golf is a passion of mine and I like to have the girls learn and develop a love for the game as well.

Coach Saucedo grew up in Los Angeles and later moved to Pomona where she attended I-Poly and transferred to Walnut High School. The first in her family to attend college.

Passionate about learning and physical fitness. She developed a love for tennis as it has pushed her to improve her mental toughness through strategizing against opponents.
