The Condors’ only individual winner in the boys division was Oscar Cruz. “We’ll enjoy this for a couple of days and then we’ll get back to work.” “What makes them special is the willingness to work hard when you don’t want to,” Jacobsen said. According to Jacobsen, Saturday’s performance is only the tip of the iceberg for them. LaBrada and Izquierdo were also part of the Condors’ 200 individual medley relay (1:57.54) and 400 freestyle relay (3:49.68) teams that took top honors. We are such a small team, and we didn’t know that 12 girls could make such an impact on a meet.”

“I didn’t know that I would go that fast. “I had the adrenaline going through me halfway through the race to go faster,” said Izquierdo when asked about her performance in the 500. California High freshmen Kai Izquierdo, left, and Hanna LaBrada each won two individual races to help the Condors win the CIF-SS Division 4 championship on Saturday, May 29 at Santa Margarita High. She was particularly impressive in the 500 as she dominated the event from the start with no competitor giving her a serious threat. Her freshmen teammate Kai Izquierdo also won two individual races, with impressive performances in the 200 (1:58.91) and 500 freestyle (5:11.59). This is so thrilling I can’t wait for next year.” I was coming in confident because I was listening to my brother’s workout music playlist on the bus coming here. “As a freshman, I didn’t think this was going to happen,” said LaBrada.

Not bad for a swimmer who had no idea what a CIF sectional championship was all about. The freshman won two individual gold medals, winning the 200-yard individual medley (2 minutes, 13.28 seconds) and the 100-yard butterfly (58.09). One of the most impressive efforts for the Condors came from Hanna LaBrada. These kids have had to overcome a lot and they stuck it out and now they can hoist up a trophy.” “It’s been extraordinarily hard this year because of all the restrictions on training and what we could and could not do. “They put in the work all year and it paid off,” said Jacobsen who previously coached at Sonora High and currently runs the Whittier Aquatics Club Program. The journey was completed Saturday as the Condors dominated the competition and won the CIF Southern Section Division 4 girls championship and finished second in the boys division at Santa Margarita High School. The Condors girls team won four individual races and two relays. He plotted a course that would take the Condors program on a rise to prominence in Southern California.
