Jags Roar in Spring Athletics
Upper School Boys and Girls Varsity Swimming Repeat as Coastal League Swim Champs
The Boys and Girls Varsity Swim Teams dominated the Coastal League Swim Championships on April 30, overtaking league rivals Vistamar, Wildwood and Pacific Hills to lock down back-to-back titles. 9th grader Betsey Lee and 9th grader David Yi were the leading individual point scorers. This was a true team effort, with all 26 boy and girl swimmers earning points towards their respective team victories. Our Swim Team formed five years ago with just one girl and one boy swimmer, which makes the teams’ incredible growth and two consecutive league championships all the more impressive. Congratulations on the great repeat performances!
