The Tiger Men competing were MacKobe Merwin, Jose Saenz, Cash Mains, Jevin Setzer, Gavin Martinez, Gage Gomez, Thomas Mussman, and Jaxon Miller.
The relay teams put some big points up with top-three finishes for the Girls 200 Yard Medley Relay placing 2nd, the Boys 200 Yard Medley Relay placing 3rd, the Boys 200 Yard Freestyle Relay placing 2nd with a new team record, and the Girls 400 Yard Freestyle Relay placing 2nd.
Several individual swimmers had top-three finishes that contributed to big the points for the team. Senior Sydney Landers had a 3rd place finish in her 200 Yard Freestyle and a new personal record with a 3rd place finish in her 100 Yard Breaststroke.

Kathy Zavalza, sophomore, helped out with points as she placed 2nd in the 100 Yard Freestyle. Freshman Laramie Long had an impressive personal record and placed 3rd in the 100 Yard Freestyle. The 500 Freestyle is the longest of the races in high school competition, and Junior Lauren El-Amoudi finished this grueling race with a strong 2nd place finish, while Junior Melanie Solis came in after her for 3rd place. Senior MacKobe Merwin placed 1st in the 100 Yard Breaststroke with an impressive new personal best time of 1:07.82. Coming in 2nd in that same race was Sophomore Jose Saenz.
