Saratoga and Lynbrook are the host schools for the swimming events. Boys and girls swimmers from Monta Vista, Mountain View, Homestead, Palo Alto, Gunn and Los Altos will join host Saratoga for the De Anza Division championships on May 6. Meanwhile, teams from Fremont, Cupertino, Los Gatos, Milpitas, Santa Clara and Wilcox will join the host Vikings at Lynbrook for the El Camino finals.

Four winners will be determined for each event, boys and girls varsity, boys frosh-soph and girls junior varsity. The first race at both venues is set for 2 p.m. To determine the final eight competitors in each event, the same schools will host girls trials on May 3 and boys trials the next day.

Diving championships were to be held May 3 at Los Altos and Wilcox.

The meets also are the final opportunities to record qualifying times for the Central Coast Section meet, which is set for May 12-14 at Stanford University.

For track and field athletes, the ovals at Mountain View and Los Altos will be quite busy.

After the El Camino trials at Mountain View on May 2, qualifiers will return on May 4. Competitors will be from Saratoga, Cupertino, Fremont, Monta Vista, Homestead, Santa Clara and Mountain View.

Following trials on May 3, the De Anza finals are set for May 5 at Los Altos. Athletes from Los Gatos, Lynbrook, Palo Alto, Gunn, Wilcox and Milpitas will join the host Eagles in the battle for individual championships.

The first race begins at 2:45 p.m. for both divisions.

The top 16 varsity finishers from both meets will advance to the SCVAL Qualifier May 14 at Los Gatos. The top six boys and girls from the Qualifier will advance to the CCS semi-finals a week later at San José City College.

The El Camino girls team championship will be settled on May 6 when Monta Vista travels to Cupertino at 3:30 p.m. Both girls squads enter the meet with 5-0 records. Monta Vista's boys, also unbeaten, can earn an outright title with a win over the Pioneers' boys. If for some reason the Matadors falter, they will finish in a tie with Santa Clara. The meet, originally set for April 28, was postponed.

Lynbrook's boys lost a battle of unbeatens to Los Altos, 86-41, in a battle for the De Anza team title.
