The San Benito swim team will be competing for a shot at the Tri-County Athletic League championship at Live Oak this weekend.
Live Oak was the only league team that either the boys or girls team has lost to this season.
For the girls, the 200-yard medley relay team (1:56.30) and the 200-yard freestyle team (1:48.44) have both qualified for the Central Coast Section playoffs with their times this season.
The medley team (Stacy Lass, Erin Reed, Kaitlyn Lass, Juliana Sih, Kat Adamek and Amanda Rodriguez) is currently the top team in the league ahead of Live Oak.
And the freestyle team (Reed, Adamak, Sih, Stacy Lass, Brandy Russell and Kristina Maisonneuve) is in second place behind Live Oak.
Sih, a junior, leads the league with CCS qualifying times in the 100-yard freestyle (56.67) and the 100-yard breaststroke (1:13.28).
Senior Stacy Lass leads the league in the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 1:03.26 and is third in the 500-yard freestyle with another CCS qualifying time of 5:36.16.
