San Marino huffed and they puffed, but at the end of the day they couldn’t blow down the door that has been solidly garrisoned by the La Cañada Spartans.
The Titans swam well last weekend at Pasadena’s Rose Bowl Aquatics Center and finished second to their rivals.
The Titans had some solid performances. Seniors Ethan Chang and Joseph Ng finished in first place and fourth place, respectively, in both the 50-yard freestyle and the 100 free. Freshmen Otis Tsai and Mark O’Mara went 2-3 in the 500-yard freestyle while sophomore Harrison Summers finished third in the 100-yard butterfly.
O’Mara finished fifth in the 200 free. Otis Tsai, sophomore Daniel Li, Summers and Ethan Chang teamed up to finish second in the 200-yard medley relay.
Daniel Li, Otis Tsai and Harrison Summers finished 1-3-5 in the 200 individual medley and Joseph Ng, Otis Tsai, Ethan Chang and Daniel Li won the 200 freestyle relay in a time of 1:27.42.
All of the swimmers named listed above qualified for the CIF preliminaries, which were held on Tuesday at Mission Viejo High School. The Titans finished the season with a 6-2 overall record in dual meets, including a 4-1 mark in the Rio Hondo League.
