The Manteca High boys swimming team took care of business against both Central Valley and Ceres highs, winning with ease in the school’s Valley Oak League meet Friday at Manteca High.
Against Ceres, Esaies Freeman (200-im), Kevin Craighead (500-free) and Joseph Brandi (100-back) all earned first place finishes, while Michael Guillroy (100-free) and Pablo Pfister both earned a second place finish.
The Buffaloes success continued against Central Valley, dominating the Hawks with nine first-place finishes. Freeman, Craighead, Guillory and Joey Grijalva all landed top finishes, with Freeman and Craighead earning two.
Manteca also grabbed first-place finishes in both the 200-medley relay and the 400-free relay.
