The girls broke the Valley Swim Association and Diablo club record, narrowly missing the county record with a time of 1:08.10.
In July, the team broke a 100-yard medley relay record previously set in 2005 by Crow Canyon Country Club by posting a first place time of 1:09.54 at the Valley Swim Association League Championship Meet.
