Gunn High swim coach Dustin Fukuda celebrates with his athletes after they took first place at the Central Coast Section swimming championships at Independence High School in San Jose, Calif., Saturday, May 4, 2024. SAN JOSE — On a rainy day hardly conducive to optimal individual performance, depth that translated to team championships was the defining characteristic of the Central Coast Section swimming and diving championships at Independence High.
“The boys were third two years ago, second last year and they started this year with championship aspirations.” Gunn coach Dustin Fukuda said. “They worked real hard. A really nice group of kids, they really supported each other.” “It was led by our senior class,” St. Ignatius coach John Dahlz said. “It was the best senior class in history. Those girls led the way.”
Among the top individual performances in the meet, Archbishop Mitty freshman Shareef Elaydi, won the 200 IM and the 100 fly as well as anchoring the 200 medley relay team to a first-place finish. After having the second-best time in Thursday’s prelims, Powell finished strong, coming from behind to win in 4:30.09.
“I’m really happy about it, I’m really proud of myself,” Groen said. “I listened to my coach and had a race plan for the first time. I stuck with the pack for the first half and tried my best to pull away in the second half. And it somehow worked out.”
