Yesterday the Hartnell Swim and Dive team traveled to De Anza College for the Coast Kick Off Swim Meet, facing off against all of the teams in the Coast Conference.
 
The Men's A Relay team, consisting of Justin Blankenship (Hollister), Edward Molina (Salinas), Allen Jarvio (North Salinas), and Isaac Delong (Hollister), broke school records in both the 200 Medley (1:48.33) and 200 Freestyle (1:35.45.) This marks a 2 second improvement on the Freestyle record and a 4 second improvement on the Medley!
 
The Dive team was making their season debut and placed in both divisions for both genders with Garhett Atkins taking 3rd in the 1 Meter and 3rd in the 3 Meter competitions.
 
 Top individual Swim performers on the Men's Side were Allen Jarvio taking 3rd in the 100 Butterfly, Justin Blankenship taking 4th in the 400 Individual Medley and 4th in the 100 Backstroke, Isaac Delong taking 4th in the 1650 Freestyle, and Juan Del Real (Soledad) taking 5th in the 500 Freestyle.
