Hard Fight to the Finish Leads to Team Victory

The Sierra College Men’s Swim and Dive Team won its fifth consecutive state title on May 3, taking first at the California Community College Athletic Association’s (3C2A) 2025 State Swimming and Diving Championship at Santa Rosa Junior College.

“Five consecutive championships is a source of tremendous pride for Sierra College,” said coach Chris Breitbart. “Against very good competition and a close finish, our athletes continued to fight hard at every event over three days and delivered a true team victory.”

In addition to securing the top overall team score for the championship, Wolverines also won the 800-yard freestyle relay, swam by Brock Sippola, Rhett Wildenradt, Tyler Nattrass, and Troy Quintana. The team also had top three finishes in four other events: 

  • 200-yard freestyle: Troy Quintana, 2nd place
  • 500-yard freestyle: Troy Quintana, 3rd place
  • 200-yard breastroke: Michael Hansen, 2nd place
  • 200-yard butterfly: Genoa Nixon, 2nd place

At the 3C2A 2025, points are awarded on a sliding scale for each event, with 20 points awarded for first place in individual events (40 points for team relays) and one point awarded for 16th place. In total, the Sierra College Men’s team finished the championship with 443 points.
