Sobrato’s Czsarina Isleta will have plenty of events to choose from at the Central Coast Section Swim Championships in May.
The junior’s repertoire was shown in full Thursday as she qualified for sectionals in three swims, including the 200-yard individual medley (2:18.88), during the Lady Bulldogs’ 132-35 dual-meet victory over Mount Pleasant. Isleta also met CCS standards in winning the 100 butterfly (1:02.21) and 400-freestyle relay (3:59.51) with Lauren Akin, Christiana Bridges and Gabrielle Smith. In addition, Isleta has qualified in the 100 breaststroke, and Bridges the 500 free.
The Sobrato girls are 5-1 in league.
