Although there were a few key swimmers missing due to illnesses, the Warriors were still able to beat Rio Hondo on March 30.

They also competed against Cerritos College, whom they lost to.

Corey Stanbury, coach, said that some of the best swims came from Brandon Gregory, who swam the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 5:09.84 and came in second place.

Sean Bartlett came in third place, after Gregory, with a time of 5:28.09 and Steven Sorbom placed first in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1:51.26.

“The best times are yet to come at the conference after cutting down yardage and resting,” Erica Bender said.

Bender came in second place in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 2:06:41.

The women’s team was able to set one of the best times of the season in the 400-yard free relay by taking first by almost a whole lap but were disqualified due to a starting time issue.

However, Stanbury said he is confident in the team and believes that they are at a good spot for the championships that will be held this month.

“The teams we’ve lost to in the past meets, we’ll beat them at the conference championships,” Stanbury said.

Shanese Douglas placed first in the 50-yard butterfly with a time of 32.90. Bender who placed first in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 26.78 and Arlene Alvarado also placed first in the 50-yard breaststroke with a time of 36.74.
