Lancer swimmer Cario Liu continued his dominant season at the dual meet against El Camino College and Chaffey College on March 2. The team defeated El Camino but came up short against Chaffey.
“I was a little bit disappointed in the men’s performance,” said Head Coach Terry Stoddard. “I felt though we could have pulled out one of the relay races, and losing both really set us back.”
The Lancers found themselves down by 40 points at the 10-minute break. “It’s really difficult to come back that late in the meet, when you are down by 40 points,” said Scott Wong, who got first place in the 100-yard breaststroke.
Stoddard said that it was difficult, because they did not have any divers for the diving events and that when you don’t have anyone in one event, the other team is going to get first, second and third place without having to really compete.
On a brighter note, Liu came in first in all of his events at the meet. “[Liu] is a really good swimmer,” said Sandra Rios, Liu’s teammate. He has earned the nickname ‘the fish’ because of how good of a swimmer he is.”
The women’s team didn’t do as well as the men’s team. “I kind of expected that,” said Coach Stoddard. “They were in [over their heads] against those teams. We have more [swim] meets ahead of us, though… We’ll be ready for them.”
