San Marino will be Swimming for the RHL Crown...


After a slow start, The Lady Titan Swimming team has been on roll. After dropping their first 2 meets against Mark Kepple and CV, they have beating all comers including rivial South Pasadena and last years Division 2 Champion Walnut. Lead by Captains Myrtle Lin, Diana Chang, and Saskia Reather, the Lady Titans find themselves right where they want to be at the end of the year, contending for a league title. In what is arguably the toughest league in the Pasadena area, San Marino will face off against La Canada for the right to be called Rio Hondo League Champion. San Marino has not forgotten losing the league title last year in their own pool last year and looks to share that feeling with La Canada this year.
The Lady Titans will travel to La Canada HS this Thursday for their biggest meet of the year. The meet will start at 330p, come out and support your Lady Titan Swimming team.
