The All-County picks in swimming won’t be easy. Have you checked out the competition for girls swimmer of the year?
Well, the boys competition looks pretty tough, too.
University’s Corey Okubo and Kennedy’s Ryan Kao might be the front-runners but how about Capistrano Valley’s Spencer DeShon and Jack DesCombes?
See if you can pick one, or you can check out a co-swimmer of the year option that has been added:

Capistrano Valley swimmer Spencer DeShon and swimmer/water polo player Jon Beck have made college decisions.
DeShon has committed to Stanford from the Pac-12 while Beck has committed to Loyola Marymount for water polo. LMU competes in the Western Water Polo Association.
At Stanford, DeShon will join fellow Capistrano Valley senior, Jack DesCombes, who also will swim for the Cardinal.
Beck’s sister, Mackenzie, is one of the top scorers on LMU’s women’s water polo team.
DeShon, Beck and DesCombes are key members of the Cougars’ reigning CIF Division 1 championship swim team.
Capistrano Valley’s boys swim competes the Palm Springs invite on Saturday.

More baseball news from the OCVarsity blog:
There’s two transfers to note in the Tuesday leaderboard. Junior Mike Carmada made his debut for Laguna Hills. He is a transfer from the East Coast, Hawks coach Blake Corbin reports. Carmada blazed to an automatic qualifying time in the 50 and just missed the 100 free.
Then there’s Dana Hills’ sophomore Cassidy Humphrey, who nearly nabbed the automatic Division 1 time in the 500.
But the best swim of day might have been a county-leading 500 for Capo Valley junior Brooke Lorentzen, pictured above. Ella Eastin of Crean narrowly missed the county-leading the breaststroke.
