Royals swimmers torpedo Yellowjackets

San Marcos’ swim teams pulled off a sweep of Oxnard on Friday in the Royals’ pool. The Royals’ boys won 123-60 and the girls 121-62.

Royals boys head coach Jeff Ashton liked what he saw in a number of races and noted James Sweeney, Jason Phreaner and Austin Howard for their contributions. Howard’s score of 333 won the diving competition and was a CIF qualifying performance. Sweeney was the event-winner in the 100 backstroke and Phreaner won the 500 freestyle.
