San Marcos opened its swimming and diving season Thursday by squeaking out a victory over Oxnard, 87-85. Three Royals stood out in the win:
• Sam Boysel, first place, 200 Free, and second place, 100 Fly. Boysel was just off his personal best in the 200 Free and beat his previous best 100 fly time by 2 seconds.
• Lance Curtiss, first place, 50 Free and 100 Free. Curtiss was just off his best times from last year in the 50 free.
• Ian Donahue, first place, diving. Thursday was Donahue’s first meet in the diving event and he looked great on all six of his dives.
Next up for San Marcos (1-0), is a dual meet with Dos Pueblos on Thursday.
