SIERRA VISTA

Head coach: David Jurvelin, 13th season

Returning lettermen: Ten

Top athletes: Amil Kurtagic (Sr.), Haris Kurtagic (Jr.), Ian Cook (Jr.), Nate Cruz (Sr.), Daryl Lopez (Sr.), Desmond Flor (Sr.), Emanuel Maxilom (Sr.), Nikita Nazarov (Fr.)

Outlook: Haris Kurtagic (second in 100 breaststroke, third in 100 freestyle), Amil Kurtagic (second in 500 freestyle, fourth in 200 freestyle) and Cook (third in 100 backstroke) all finished in the top four in individual events at last year’s Division I-A state meet and were a part of the Mountain Lions’ state-meet winning 400 freestyle relay team.

Cruz, Lopez and Flor all were members of the 200 freestyle relay team that placed fifth in the state meet.

“After having the boys team place second overall at Division I-A state last season, the move back to (Class) 4A will be tough,” Jurvelin said. “We did keep a lot of strong swimmers on the guys’ side and have a few incoming freshmen who will help us stay competitive.”
