Carpinteria’s swim program took on Santa Paula on March 26 for a head-to-head meet, and despite having a large portion of the Warriors swimmers out for Spring Break, both the boys and girls teams managed to pull away with overall wins for the day.
The Carpinteria boys took the team win 108-12, taking care of business despite half of the team being out for the break.
Sophomore Jake Ehlers and junior Jacob Otsuki took wins in all four individual freestyle events, with Ehlers winning the 50 and 500 meters and Otsuki capturing the 100 and 200 meters. Other individual winners included Griffin Yamaoka, Sky Korling, Eli Sheaffer and Taison Lee.
The Warriors girls managed to pull away with the win, 96-49, thanks to some great swimming by senior Lilli Nemetz and freshman Izzy Scott, who both finished with two individual wins on the day.
The Warriors also had freshman Mina Handall in first place in the 200 individual medley; Devyn Clayton with first place in the 100 butterfly; Lucy Moore with the top spot in the 100 backstroke; and Allison Banks with a win in the 100 breaststroke.
“The kids that did compete rose to the occasion and put together some personal best times,” said Carpinteria coach Jon Otsuki.
