Up on the blocks, mind numb to everything but victory, muscles ready to fire. BANG You jump in, the cool liquid a relief to the tension felt above water. The difficulty of waiting is in the past, everything is a blur and it's just a grind to the finish. These are the thoughts racing through the mind of Western State Conference Swimmer of the Year Cheyne O'Gorman before one of the eight events that he participates in.
Both the men and women's swim teams have put on excellent displays this season, both in and out of the water. The men's team is looking to win the state championships held at Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hills. The team won every event at the Western State Conference Championships held April 28-30 at Cuesta College.
