Relays were strong across the board, highlighted by a win in the 13-14 Boys 800 Free Relay from the team of Michael Auld, Bradley Chen, Sean Hoerger, and Felix Chiun. Competing in one of the fastest Age Group meets in the country, DACA Swimmers were up to the challenge, posting 105 lifetime best times.

SHS Gold Girls Show their DACA Spirit!
Gold girls from the Saratoga HS site got their spirit on! Danielle Panconi, with the help of her mom, organized the girl's group to purchase white DACA team shirts so the girls could get together to tie-die the shirts in team colors. One day after practice, the girls decorated the back of their own shirt with each name painted in gold puff paint. The girls could be seen at the Sunnyvale Halloween Meet sporting their team shirts and team spirit cheering for many of their DACA teammates as they led our club in a sterling team performance. One can see by their expressions that these girls show their spirit and enthusiasm, bonding as a group. Maybe their example can lead our swimmers to joining in on the fun and demonstrating new and creative ways to show how they can make DACA ROCK!
