Entered in only their 3rd swim meet ever, the newly named Tritons were feeling jubilant with the results after their powerful showing at the Santa Clarita Masters meet swum at the Santa Clarita Aquatic Centre on Saturday March 29th.
10 swimmers participated in a total of 22 individual events and one relay, taking home ten 1st place ribbons, five 2nd place ribbons and three 3rd place ribbons in the various age groups in which they competed. Scoring points in nearly every event they entered, Team Triton finished 8th out 28 competing teams in the combined division. The men also placed 8th out of 27 teams while the women placed 6th in a field of 17 teams.

Kelsey and Dan had exceptionally fast times and showed the rest of the team what the results of a lifetime of swimming workouts can do for you.
Mike and Shawn competed in the longest event, the mile swim and Shawn even returned to the pool for the 2nd longest event the 500 Free. Obviously, our triathalon performers are getting primed for their race season.
William, Sarah, David, Caitlin, Megan, Erin and Bob made up the balance of the squads point scoring, most setting personal season best times along the way.
