Narrative:
On the second overflight of the runway; half way down the downwind leg to runway 25 we were cleared for the option (landing; touch and go; over-fly) to runway 25. Prior to turning a right base to runway 25; I heard additional traffic being cleared by the tower for a 'right base to runway 29.' we turned 'downwind' to 'base' at 2500 MSL (1000 AGL); prior to turning final (approximately halfway down our base leg); we heard an aircraft report to tower that we were very close to him. The tower stated to aircraft that we only looked close to him and that there was plenty of separation between the two aircraft.
