The ARC men's and women's swimming and diving teams opened the season in strong form at the Los Rios Invite, an early-season, non-scored meet that showcased depth, speed, and promising performances across the board.

The Beavers picked up multiple event wins, starting with the 200 Breaststroke. On the women's side, Amber Inderkum captured first place, while the men swept the top spots with Josh Noonan earning the win and Rowan Taggatz finishing second. In the 200 Butterfly, ARC continued to impress as Arian Mutschler claimed first and Ryan Tu followed closely in second.

Backstroke events highlighted ARC's returning talent. In the women's 100 Back, Jacquie Closuer placed second and Clara Walker took third. The men's 100 Back saw David Tyspan, returning state champion, secure a convincing first-place finish. Tyspan also added a victory in the 100 Butterfly later in the meet.

Freestyle events produced standout swims as well. Anabel Guardia-Maldonado won the women's 200 Free, with Lydia Vlahos placing third. On the men's side, Justin Hsieh touched first in the 200 Free, followed by Andrew Donlin in second. Hsieh added another win in the 100 Breaststroke, while Clara Walker captured the 200 Backstroke for the women.

The diving events capped off a strong day for ARC. Sophomore Ashley Johnson dominated the women's competition, winning both the 1-meter and 3-meter boards. For the men, Lucas VanHagel earned the win on 1-meter, while Stephen Ortega took first on the 3-meter board.

Overall, it was a great day of competition and an encouraging start to the season for the Beavers, setting the tone for the meets ahead.
