Making Splashes In San Diego

Poly swim has had a busy couple of weeks, dominating not only the Moore League competition but also caused some big splashes down in San Diego.
This past weekend from Friday, April 22 to Sunday, April 24, a select group of swimmers traveled down to San Diego to participate in the annual Dick Draz’s Iron Man relays. This “Iron Man” style relays combine both boys and girls to swim the hardest of events ranging from the 100 meter freestyle to the killer 400 meter Medley.
Being the outside team didn’t phase the Jackrabbits, as they dominated the meet winning first place overall.
In addition to participating in the relays the Jackrabbits also toured San Diego colleges, including UC San Diego where the team met up with the school’s swim coach to connect with prospective student-athletes.
Last week on Thursday April 21, the girls added yet another win as they glided right past the Millikan Rams. Unfortunately the boys team was not as successful going up against the Rams losing by with a close score of 89-81.
It was a fairly easy victory for the Lady Jackrabbits, as they swept most of the events for a (124-46) victory. Typical for the girls, there were a wide range of great swims and even better times, including a 500 meter CIF consideration time of 5:28.70 for junior Isabella Magalong who was named swimmer of the meet.
The Jackrabbits also had their second to last Moore league meet on April 27 against Cabrillo but could not be reported on due to press time restraints.
As the Moore League comes to an end, both teams are preparing for Moore League finals next week. The girls will have their preliminaries and finals on Tuesday, May 3 and Thursday, May 5, respectively. Meanwhile, the boys will have their preliminaries on Wednesday, May 4 and finals on Friday, May 6. Both will be held at the Cabrillo Aquatic Complex.
The girls, who as of now are undefeated in the league, look to completely reclaim the Moore League championship title after having to share the title with the Wilson Bruins for the last year. As for the boys, the young yet dynamic team is seen to be building momentum as they enter the final stretch of the season.
