On Wednesday, March 5th, the Fillmore High Swim team held a rainy-day swim meet against Hueneme High school. The Boys JV team won their first meet in over five years. The JV Girls’ team earned league champs in last year’s finals and won their first meet as well.

Fillmore’s Ulysses Garcia (V Boys) made consideration time for CIF for the 50 freestyle. Bradley Villa, (1st year swimmer/brand new to JV boys) placed first in his 50 backstroke. He has been working so very hard this year, and coaches are so proud. Kianna Toyooka (Sophomore, V girls) placed first in her 200 free and her 100 back. We look forward to seeing what she can do this year!

The Flashes Coaches Matthew Tello (FHS grad 2023) and Hannah Faith (FHS grad 2003) are so proud of their team for their hard work and dedication. Both were taught to swim by retired coach Cindy Blatt.
