B Division junior lifeguards hit the water for the distance swim during the Fiesta Competition at East Beach.
The Santa Barbara Junior Lifeguards took first place overall in the annual Fiesta Competition at East Beach last Friday.
Santa Barbara won the B and C Divisions and finished second behind Avila Beach in the A Division competition. Carpinteria finished third in each division and third overall. UCSB placed fourth and Pismo was fifth.
Twelve junior lifeguard programs brought teams to the competition. The local teams included Santa Barbara, UCSB, Refugio, Carpinteria and Hendry’s Beach.
Among the highlights of the day, Sam Meister of Carpinteria was a double winner in the C Division distance paddle and beach flags, and he competed on the winning run relay team.
Santa Barbara captured the C Division taplin and paddle relays.
Zane Booth and Matt Mills powered Santa Barbara to the B Division title. Mills won the run-swim-run and distance swim and was a member on the first-place taplin relay squad. Booth took the distance paddle, anchored the winning paddle relay and was the lead on the taplin relay.
In the A Division, Santa Barbara’s Vanessa Lytle earned four first-place caps. She captured the distance paddle and run-swim-run and was part of winning taplin and paddle relay teams.
