It's a tradition for the Crescenta Valley High boys' swim team to
make a large splash at the CIF Southern Section Division II final.
Since their offseason move to Division I, that splash was reduced
Wednesday to a ripple during the division prelims at Long Beach
Belmont Plaza.
Junior Peter Lee clocked 1 minute 78 seconds to finish eighth in
the 100-yard breaststroke and qualify for the final, which will be
held at 6 p.m. Friday. Lee also recorded a mark of 53.59 to place
13th to qualify for the consolation heat in the 100 butterfly.

Lee, who swam 28.56 on the first lap of the breaststroke, will be
the lone CV representative vying for a division championship. The
Falcons won team championships from 1998-2000 to establish themselves
as one of the elite programs in Southern California.
CV's 200 medley relay team of Seong Jin Moon, Lee, Jeff Benzer and
Chris Sherman finished 17th with a mark of 1:42.40. In the 400
freestyle relay, the quartet clocked 3:21.79 to place 22nd.
Lee won Pacific League championships this season in the butterfly
and breaststroke.
Adam Hewko of Anaheim Servite won the breaststroke Wednesday with
a mark of 58.29.
