With CSM competing at the Los Positas Hawk Invite last Friday and Saturday, Tan made a splash with three first-place finishes. CSM earned four firsts overall with Tan topping the 18-team field in the men’s 100-yard backstroke with a time of 51.59 seconds, the 50 free with a 21.45 and in the 200 medley relay.

College of San Mateo’s Kawei Tan, a Burlingame graduate, won a state championship in the 100 backstroke in Los Angeles Friday in a time of 49.86.

CSM has used its legs to manufacture runs as Freshman shortstop Miles Mastrobuoni has swiped 18 bags on the season. As usual, the CSM track and field team has a number of standouts on throws. In the pool, CSM freshman Kawei Tan is seeded among the top five in the state in a quintet of events

As expected, the coast conference championship for the College of San Mateo were highlighted by a pair of standout individual performances.

College of San Mateo won five events and took third in three others on Day 2 of the Coast Conference swimming championships at De Anza College in Cupertino

In describing the upcoming Coast Conference swimming championship, College of San Mateo head coach Randy Wright said, “it’s going to be a dogfight.” Well, perhaps it’s a good thing he’s bringing a pack of Bulldogs to the meet.

The CSM team actually enters the contest up for the first time — that’s thanks in large part of the efforts of Jeremy Rodriguez at the Coast Conference diving championships. His performance in the 1 and 3-meter boards earned CSM 29 points.

CSM swim star Miya Oto won the 100 free (54.11) and 200 free (1:56.13) in the 15-team Panther Invitational at Las Positas College in Livermore.

The Bulldogs don’t have too much in terms of superstars, but head coach Randy Wright said the depth of the 2013 squad is its most promising and exciting attribute. “You don’t win championships with just your leading point scorers,” Wright said. “You win championships with everybody point-scoring.”

Iya Oto was two minutes away from land when she had to jump out of the English Channel and onto the escort boat. Her hour-long turn in the water over, and it was time for another swimmer to dive in.
