CALIFORNIA STATE CHAMPIONS

2008 CA COMMUNITY COLLEGE STATE CHAMPS
2008 BIG 8 CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS
The SRJC Women's Swim and Dive Team entered the 2008 season with one of their largest teams in school history. The Cubs returned All American's Ali Niemiec, Justine Montoya and Ashley Gan. They also had a very competitive frosh class of swimmers and divers including All Americans Heather Cramer, Allie King, and Michelle Masciorini. SRJC claimed their third California State Swimming Title in four years in this season, making this their fifth state title overall. SRJC ranked No. 3 in the state in 2007, and No. 5 in 2006 as well. In the past five seasons, the Bear Cub women
have broken 16 school
records, including setting a new State Record in the 200 Medley Relay, and producing seven national champions. Head Coach Jill McCormick was also named California Community College Coach of the Year in 2004, 2005, 2007, and 2008. The
SRJC Swim and Dive Team has been in existence
30 years including numerous state champions and team titles. We compete
in the California Community Colleges League. We belong to the Big Eight
Conference, arguabley one of the strongest conferences in the state, giving us a great slate of dual meets, rivalries,
and a
very fast Conference Championship Meet. We have a
strong women's program that consistently attracts swimmers and divers
at the national level as well as athletes willing to improve to that level.
During our recent seasons we have won two state titles and consistently finished in the top three at our conference meet, including many All American and All Academic student- athletes. Coach McCormick
recruits athletes who not only demonstrate a high level of teamwork,
focus, and discipline in the pool and in the classroom, but who also
like to have fun with their team and enjoy competition.
