Piranhas Shine at Junior Olympics!
Monterey Park - The Junior Olympics have ended and "it was a great meet for all Piranha swimmers" says Coach Adam Schmitt, "We had many event finalists and lifetime best times!" Congratulations to all of the Piranhas who represented our team at one of the biggest and highest level meet in Southern California Swimming. This past weekend, the “older” JO meet had the Piranha girls finishing in 10th place overall in Southern California Swimming.
