With great anticipation, the local high school swim season began last week and the Campolindo Cougars are excited to defend their 2012 NCS title.
The Cougars will be aided by two Orinda Aquatics swimmers who have been distinguished by world rankings.
In January, International Swimming released its "18 and Under Top 40 World Rankings." Seniors Steven Stumph (100 breast, 200 breast, 200 IM, 400 IM) and Sven Campbell (50 free, 100 back, 200 back) combined for seven rankings.
At last year's NCS, Campbell set three individual NCS records in the 50 free, 100 free, 100 back and was part of four first place record breaking swims. Campbell has committed to swim for the reigning national champions, UC Berkeley.
Last year, Stumph was just shy of the national high school record and was ranked as the No. 1 high school swimmer in the nation in the 100 breast and 200 IM. He was recently chosen to join and train with the National Junior team. In the fall, Stumph will head to USC to train under Dave Salo, the 2012 Olympic swim coach.
