Senior David Yang swam the 200-meter individual medley in 2:.02 seconds
SENIORS James Carr, Aayan Khasgiwala, Rishi Mohan, Leo Ohannessian, Jack Palmer, Ryan Park, Tim Weigman, Mason Westkaemper and Daniel Wu THEY SAID IT “I’m really proud of our team this season, and I know my fellow captains are as well. I think we had every reason to not be motivated, every reason to take this year as an off year, but we still gave it 100%. Every swimmer, from the seniors to the freshmen, worked their tails off, and that’s super important in preserving and passing down a winning culture. Ending by winning the North Zone, and then combining our times with the South Zone to find out we would’ve won the whole SPC was just a cherry on top of a hard but good season.” — senior Aayan Khasgiwala
