The City Section swim championships saw Granada Hills dominate once again, winning both boys and girls titles for the second consecutive year. Junior Ryan Zheng excelled by defending titles in the 200 and 500-yard freestyle, and anchored winning relays, scoring personal bests. Senior Kenneth Devis also triumphed in the 100 butterfly and breaststroke for a third year. The Highlanders finished with 473 points, significantly ahead of Palisades, highlighting their depth and talent through standout individual performances.
In one of the closest races of the day, Zheng held off a last-lap surge by Taft's David Abarbanel to clinch the Highlanders' 200 freestyle relay win by 65 hundredths of a second.
Devis has dominated his two individual events since his sophomore year and on Saturday he won the breaststroke, his favorite event, in 56.35 seconds and the butterfly in a personal-best 49.59 seconds.
