CIF-State Recap:
We are currently sitting in a bus with the amazing Bus Driver, Rojelio, on our way back from Fresno. We brought our largest contingency to the CIF-State Competition ever and brought a boys team for the first time ever! The CIF-State Competition is the fastest high school competition in the United States (Probably the world), and just qualifying for this event is something to be proud of. Something else to be proud of… Dean’s Battle Cry.
Our relays swam in Prelims on Friday, and all performed admirably. Our Boys and Girls 200 Freestyle Relays both qualified for Finals today and had some insane swims! Our Girls 200 Freestyle Relay team of Phoebe Yeh, Julia Cho, Zara Masud, and Rin Hoshina put up the fastest WHS time since the 2017 swim season en route to a 9th Place finish in the state of California. Our boys 200 Freestyle Relay team of Jacob Wang, Evan Wang, Cole Saeger (prelims), Darius Walach (finals), and Kevin Guner were just off their season-best time en route to a 12th Place finish in the state of California. Additionally, Jacob Wang swam two individual events in the prelims and Zara Masud crushed it and made it into the Championship Final in her 200 Freestyle and 100 Butterfly, ultimately finishing in 5th Place (200 Free) and 6th Place (100 Butterfly).
Overall, our Girls Team finished tied for 13th Place in all of California and our Boys Team finished in 51st Place (For reference, there are nearly 4000 High Schools in all of California.
