Top Swim Teams Set for Showdown

The unbeaten Crescenta Valley High and Hart swim teams will square off in a nonleague dual meet at 3:15 p.m. today at Crescenta Valley.

The boys’ meet matches defending Southern Section Division II champion Crescenta Valley against Division II runner-up Hart.

The girls’ meet features 16-time defending Foothill League champion Hart against a Crescenta Valley team that won its first-ever Pacific League title last season but has never lost to Hart.

“We’ll go all out,” Hart Coach Steve Neale said. “It’s going to be won in the trenches. They have their studs and we have ours. It’s after that that we don’t know about.”

Both Crescenta Valley teams are 6-0. The Hart teams are 4-0. Crescenta Valley swept Hart in each of the previous two seasons.
