Several Eagle Rock swimmers will be participating in the City Prelims next Wednesday 5/16 at the LA Swim Stadium near the Coliseum. This meet will be for Varsity swimmers only. On Wed. 5/23 the finals will be held for Varsity and frosh/soph swimmers.
At the Northern League swimming finals on 5/2 at Santee High School, many of Eagle Rock's top varsity swimmers, who are underclassmen, competed as freshmen and sophomores and qualified for the City Finals.
The Eagle Rock girls swimmers took first in the Northern League this season with a record of 6-1. The boys finished second at 5-2. The team set 13 records this season. One of the most impressive times was turned in by the 200 medley relay team, which steamed in at 2:10.4. That team consisted of Jinni Tomikawa (Fr./backstroke), Caitlin Miller (Jr./breaststroke), Melissa Henry (Fr./butterfly), and Bianca Delmundo (Fr./freestyle).

The Eagle Rock swim team will see its next action against L.A. High on March 19 at Alatorre Pool at El Sereno Park. It will be the first league match of the season for the Eagle swimmers. They finished the preseason with a record of 1-1.
In the Northern League relays on 3/12, the Eagles dominated, winning 16 of the 24 races. "I expected them to do well," said Coach Debbie Devine, "but I was elated with how well they actually did. Some of the races we won by just a touch."
It was a great performance by all of the relay teams: frosh/soph and varsity, boys and girls.
