Pirate swimmer Mitchell Ongstad finished out his career in the orange and black in style. The sophomore from Royal High School in Simi Valley was named the state's Co-Athlete of the Year following two individual golds and a silver in the CCCAA State Championships this past week at East Los Angeles College. He won the state and national championship in the 50-yard freestyle, and also captured gold in the 100-yard free. He finished second in the 100-yard backstroke. He also led four VC relay teams to high finishes at the state meet. For his efforts, Mitchell is this week's VC Pirate Student Athlete of the Week sponsored by Pacific Aire Heating and Cooling.
