The Costa swim team competed in the South Bay Invitational Prelims on Tuesday and Wednesday at home.

Junior Ed Jeon placed first in the 50-freestyle and second in the breaststroke for his heat. Jeon also competed in the 200-medley with sophomores Ian Campbell, Mat Woicik and freshman Mark Warnecke, which placed second.

“I think the team did well for the beginning of the season,” Jeon said.

The girls team competed on the second day of prelims. Freshman Katie Barnhill placed third in the 200-individual medley, and senior Gigi Franco placed fourth in the 100-yard freestyle. Senior Stephanie Fay placed fourth in the 100-butterfly and 100-breaststroke.

“I thought my performance was good overall, but we can race much faster on Friday,” Franco said.

Swimmers who placed in the top eight will swim again at the South Bay Invitational Finals today at home at 2 p.m.

“The swimmers were swimming well for this time of the year,” coach Jon Reichardt said.
