The San Pedro boys and the Granada Hills girls triumphed at the City Section swimming championships Saturday.
There is a saying that the star closes the show, and that is what San Pedro did in defending its City Section boys’ swimming championship Saturday afternoon at L.A. Valley College.Nick Jones
widened the gap on the anchor leg to clinch his team’s victory. The senior also anchored the Pirates’ winning 200 medley relay to open the meet and won the 500 freestyle in 4 minutes 48.49 seconds. Teammate William Hatch won the 200 freestyle in 1:45.74 as San Pedro racked up 358 points — 18 more than Palisades.
Kenneth Devis of Eagle Rock edged Jones to win the 100 butterfly in 50 seconds flat, then broke the City record in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 55.90 seconds. Dominic Vargas of third-place Granada Hills was first in the 50 freestyle and 100 freestyle .Cade Goldstein scores on wild pitch as Harvard-Westlake defeats Palos Verdes 1-0 in a Southern Section playoff game that lasted 14 innings over 2 days.
The girls’ team title came down to the last event. Granada Hills’ Lauryn Cho, Breanna Navarro, Elaina Brier and Rylie Oh took first place in the 400 freestyle relay in 3:45.24, and that was enough to push the Highlanders to their first section crown since they won six in a row from 1995 to 2000. They did not win an individual event but took two of the three relays to finish with 326 points — seven ahead of runner-up Palisades, which was denied its 12th consecutive title.
Garfield sophomore Kelia Naranjo won the 50 freestyle and 100 freestyle , and Claire Wu of Taft won the 200 individual medley and 100 breaststroke and swam the first leg on the Toreadors’ winning 200 freestyle relay.
