( Sacramento, CA) Freshman Swimmer Edward Sanchez was named the February 2014 California Community College Athletic Association (CCCAA) Athlete of the Month. The award is sponsored by the California Community College Sports Information Association and sponsored by D#3 Athletic.
The freshman swimmer out of South Hills High School (Covina, CA) had a spectacular month of February, putting the state on notice and rewriting the Mt. SAC record books with his versatile performances in the water.
In February, after only four competitions, Sanchez set five Mountie School Records and lead the state in seven individual events. At the Mt. SAC Swimming Invitational (February 21st and 22nd), he set seven state leading marks and five invitational meet records which included individual records in the 200 Individual Medley, 200 Freestyle, 200 Butterfly and two relay records in the 400 Freestyle Relay and 800 Freestyle Relay.
