Dear Swimmers and Parents,
6 VJO Team Records Broken at 2014
CCCAA State Champs!
On May
1st-3rd Evan Augst (19) and
Dylan Powell (18) from VJO attended the 2014
Junior College CCCAA State Championships in southern California and
set a total of 6 new VJO team records in the 17 & Over age
group. I think this could possibly be the most VJO team
records broken at one single meet. Way to go gentlemen, keep
up the good work!
