The Manteca Dolphins swim team ended the regular season on a high note Saturday at Sierra High, where it dispatched the Oakdale Gators, 1,129-837.

The season ends this upcoming Saturday with the Mid-Valley Swim League Championships at Pitman High in Turlock.

The Dolphins got some big-time performances by four of their athletes that scored three first-point finishes for a grand total of 21 points apiece.

Janette Thomas, the eldest of the bunch, won the 100-yard individual medley, 100 freestyle and 50 breaststroke in the 17-18-year-old girls division.

Others earning the maximum point total were Kaitlyn Johnston (100 free, 50 breast, 50 free) in 15-16 girls, Maverick Lin (100 free, 50 back, 50 free) in 9-10 boys and Giovanni Padilla (50 free, 25 back, 25 free) in 7-8 boys.

The Dolphins had five swimmers finish first in two events and second in another for 19 points: Mallory Brubaker (7-8 girls), Kimberly Buonauro (17-18 girls), Abby Kramer (6-under girls), Ty Wells (9-10 boys) and Darrel Yamamura (11-12 boys).

Johnny Buonauro (9-10 boys), Amanda Christensen (13-14 girls), Nicole Mason (7-8 girls), Natalie Randolph (11-12 girls) and Josiah Scholten (13-14 boys) were each twice runner-ups while winning an event.

James Thomas (15-16 boys) and Vanessa Flores (9-10 girls) added 16 points apiece to the winning cause. Lane Fishburn (9-10 girls), Nick Jamero (15-16 boys), Julianne Maraccini (15-16 girls) and Jessica Wells (6-under girls) each added 15.

Also putting forth a noteworthy effort was Sean Marsh (6-under boys), who won his only events — the 25 backstroke and 25 free.

The MVSL finale will run from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and will be followed by the Manteca Dolphins’ year-end award banquet Tuesday, July 28 at Sierra High from 4-7 p.m.
