Cyrus Symington broke his own Cate School record in the 200 individual medley Thursday as the Ram boys team won the Tri-Valley League finals in Ventura.

Symington won the event in 2:02:52, bettering his previous Ram best of 2:03.03. He also won the 100 backstroke Thursday.

Last month, he set a school mark for the 100 breaststroke.

The Cate girls placed third in the TVL finals.

The Cate boys won nine of 11 events, starting with the 200 medley relay.

“It would have been 10 (wins), but senior Jet Ochoa badly jammed his finger after the first relay and was unable to compete in the rest of the meet,” Cate coach Erik Hansen said. “He was favored to win the 100 fly by over 10 seconds.”

Zach White won the 200 freestyle, and Charlie Schofield won the 50 freestyle. Frankie Nieman won the 100 breaststroke and swam a leg in the winning 200 medley relay.

For the girls, Nicole Teh won the 50 freestyle, making her undefeated in that event.
