Campolindo’s Emilia Barck competes and wins the 100-yard butterfly final heat during the swim and dive North Coast Section Championships at Concord Community Pool in Concord, Calif., on Wednesday, April 24, 2024. Ray Chavez/Bay Area News Group)Despite not having an individual swimmer place higher than fourth and a relay team finish better than third, the Spartans won their third consecutive North Coast Section boys swimming title Saturday at Concord Community Pool.

“To see our seniors get this final win in their final chapter is really special,” Johnson said. “They worked so hard for it and it has paid off. I get a little choked up thinking about some of these guys not being around next year but I’m happy to see where they’re gonna go because they’ve got great trajectory.”

However, the weather didn’t stop Northgate senior and UC Santa Barbara commit Mason Wendler from winning his first-ever section championship event. Wendler won the boys 100-yard freestyle with a time of 44.73, beating out Terra Linda’s Ben Butler who came in second at 45.37. Head coach Roque Santos thought his team could have done better, despite the poor weather conditions.
