The SRJC women's Swim & Dive team brought home the 2nd place team trophy after competiting in the 2024 3C2A State Championship Swimming & Diving Championship last weekend at Orange Coast College. The Cubs (281.5pts) finished ahead of Long Beach City College (255pts) and behind winner Santa Barbra (460pts). The team competition was extremely close with less than 100 points seperating 2nd through 10th place overall. This is only the 2nd time in school history our women's team has finished 2nd overall after doing so in 2018. SRJC Women's Swim & Dive is the most decorated team in SRJC athletic history bringing home the state team title seven times prior ('15, '09, '08, '05, '04, '83, '79), and they have been on the podium finishing in 3rd numerous times as well.
The Cubs were in 3rd overall at the conclusion of Day 1, but they moved into 2nd by less than 20pts at the end of Day 2. With two top 8 finishes in the 200 Fly (Holzhauser 6th and Clarkson 8th) at the end of Day 3, they clinched their No. 2 spot on the podium prior to the final 400 free relay of the meet on Saturday night.
This season's state meet was a true team effort performance highlighted by a season best and silver medal finish in the first event, the 200 Free Relay (1:38.43), with the team of Victoria Creaves (24.81), Madi West (24.28), Stanislava Holzhauser (24.30), and Hayley Prince (25.03); West's silver in the 100 Breast (1:04.79) and bronze in the 200 Breast (2:21.12); Holzhauser's 4th place finish in the 200 IM (2:12.16), Creaves 4th place finish in the 100 Fly (59.70), and Jasmine Greenlief-Gibb's 5th place finish in 1M Diving (195.70pts).
