DACA swims to win at open
It was a record set in 1979, and it had stood firmly for 23 years.
But it's a record that stands no longer... the swimmers of De Anza Cupertino Aquatics saw to that.
The DACA swimmers toppled the long-standing Pacific Senior record in the women's 400 medley relay with a blistering finish at the 26th annual Washington Open.
Kelly Blakemore, Erica Liu, Amber Hovey and Roshan Mehdizadeh combined to swim a 3:45.44 to break the 23-year-old record and lead DACA to a team championship at the early season meet.
The local swimmers won the men's and women's combined title in Washington, and DACA also finished in first place in the women's competition.
The highlight of the meet was the new Pacific Senior record by the women's medley relay team. In the process, the foursome set a new meet record in the event.
Liu also set new Pacific 15-16 and senior records in the 100 breaststroke, clocking in at 1:00.40.
Liu breezed to individual victories in the 100 and 200 breast events, and Mehdizadeh won the 50 freestyle.
Phil Yoshida was a winner for DACA in the 200 breast and Abra Armour won the 100 free.
Mustangs fall
The Homestead girls soccer team lost a 1-0 heartbreaker to Santa Teresa to fall out of the CCS Division I playoffs in the semifinals.
A first-half goal by the Saints proved more than the Mustangs could overcome, and Santa Teresa advanced to the CCS title game against Carlmont. The Saints won that one 2-0 on Saturday to claim the section championship.
Homestead ended up 8-9-3 after the loss, but it was quite a year for the Mustangs, who came within a goal of reaching the CCS championship round. Homestead had opened the tournament with a tight 2-1 win over Leigh.
