The Town Council and the Campolindo boys' varsity volleyball team.
The Moraga Town Council issued two proclamations June 25 for two very different sports groups. First it honored the Campolindo boys' varsity volleyball team, which recently won its fourth consecutive North Coast Section Championship and second NorCal Regional Championship. The team was ranked No. 1 in the East Bay and No. 8 nationally by MaxPreps.
The council also recognized the Orinda Moraga Pools Association, a 58-year-old institution in which more than 3,000 young swimmers, age 3 to 18, participate each year. OMPA is comprised of nine recreational swimming teams located in Moraga and Orinda. Its summer swim season features weekly dual meets and culminates in August with the OMPA Championship meet, one of the largest recreational swim meets in the country, with over 2,000 swimmers expected to participate. Echoing OMPA's theme this year, the council proclaimed Aug. 8, 9 and 10 to be "SwimTown USA" days in Moraga.
