CCY gets gold at Y-Champs
The Crescenta-Cañada YMCA Dragons finished off their Y League season by facing off against eight other Southern California Y teams this past weekend. Harrison Thai made a huge contribution to the Y-Champs win by breaking three Southern California Y records with his swims in the 13-14 Boys 200-yard freestyle, 100 butterfly and 200 individual medley. His time of 1 minute, 46.99 seconds in the 200 free broke a Southern California YMCA swimming record set in 1972.
The 11-12 years old boys’ team of Samuel Jo, Kris Abramyan, Eric Park and Kevin Park were less than half a second short of breaking the 200 free relay record with a time of 1:45.39. In the girls’ division, Yvette Kim (9 years old) and Iva Icheva (13) continued their reign of the pool, coming in first in all of their events.
