The Pirates' men's swimming and diving team finished first at last week's Western State Conference No. 1 at Santa Monica Friday. Leading the charge was freshman Cameron Habib, swimming for the orange and black for the first time. The Newbury Park High School product captured a pair of individual golds, winning the 50- and 100-yard freestyle events with marks of 22.47 and 49.24, respectively. Additionally, he was part of the 200-yard medley relay team along with Merrick Giles, Nick Santander and Michael Soho, winning first with a mark of 1:44.70, 4.31 seconds faster than the runners-up. The same quartet took to the pool in the meet's finale and won the 200-yard freestyle relay in 1:27.26, 6.85 seconds ahead of second place and less than a second off the VC school record of 1:27.24. Cameron is this week's VC Pirate Student Athlete of the Week sponsored by M & M Sports.
