Terrapins Swim Team had a fulfilling weekend at the Pacific Swimming Zone 2 Championship meet in Moraga at the tailend of January, winning the team title by over 300 points.
Coaches credited “a collective team effort from the 8-unders to the 15-18’s” for the championship result. The Terrapins had three high point winners in 8-under girls winner Marina Didenko (brand new to year-round swimming from the Vista Diablo Dolphins), 9-10 boys Morgan Wendler and 11-12 boys Davidka Skov.
This week over 60 Terrapins traveled to Phoenix for the 2020 Winter Invitational.
In January the team held its annual awards dinner at Centre Concord. The guest of honor was five time-time Olympic gold medalist Nathan Adrian, who swam collegiately for the Cal Bears and wore his alma mater’s gear to the dinner. Adrian has represented America in the last three Summer Olympics.
