Having already qualified to advance to CIF post-season competition in individual events, seniors Michael Dozal and Dzenan Kapetanovic and sophomore Chris Abdelmalak, are expected to score well in Ocean League finals for the Culver City High School Centaur swim team this week.
Dozal has qualified for CIF prelims in the 100-meter breast and 200-meter individual medley, Abdelmalak in the 100-meter breaststroke, and Kapetanovic in the 100-meter backstroke. The 200-meter medley relay with Dozal, Kapetanovic, Abdelmalak and junior Christobal Galvan and the 200-meter free relay with senior Nikita Chizoy also advanced.
Other varsity standouts on head coach Nestor Dordoni’s squad will attempt to swim qualifying times this week for the right to move on to the CIF Championships.
The Centaur varsity boys and frosh/soph girls placed third out of 15 teams and the frosh/soph boys finished fourth in the John Marrow Invitational Swim Meet at Beverly Hills High School.
The boys varsity team had outstanding performances in the 200-meter medley relay (third), the 200-meter free relay (fourth) and the 400-meter free relay, with senior Ryan Moryl, junior Dario Fantella, Chizov and Kapetanovic (fifth).
