Fantastic Four win State Relays

by Liz Ouzas

SSCPLC swimmers Christina Ouzas (10), Jasmine Choi-Christou (10), Lauren Sloane (10), and Nicole Chen ( 9) won an amazing two gold medals at the recent State Age Championships.

The girls won their first gold medal in the 4 x 50m freestyle relay with a fantastic time of 2:12:04. Each of the girls swam PBs. They then went on to win the 4 x 50m medley relay later in the day with a great time of 2:30:18. All four girls swam PBs again for the medley relay. Lots of enthusiasm from coach Pancha and extra training has really paid off.

Congratulations to the girls for a great effort and wonderful team spirit.
