Morro Bay’s Boys Swimming Team is celebrating an undefeated league season and championship, as a member of the diving squad competes for a State Championship.
Coach Dan Szentesi said the Pirates posted a perfect 6-0 record in winning the dual meets in the Sunset League. At League Finals the boys “won the Sunset League Championship meet with 537.5 points over Cabrillo with 436 and Orcutt Academy with 402.5.” The win gave the 2026 team the fourth league championship in school history and the first since the 2019 champs.
That dominating performance was led by senior Jude Moore, who set two MBHS school records and won two events. He clocked 53.79-seconds in the 100-meter Backstroke, Coach Szentesi said, and timed 53.45 in the 100m Butterfly.
Standout performances included junior, Koen Hook, swimming a 5-minute 36.08-second, 500m Freestyle, which was the seventh fastest 500m time in MBHS history.
Senior, Eddie Lu’s clocked 2:21.09 in the 200 Individual Medley that earned him ninth place in the Div. 2 CIF Central Section Meet.
The Pirates’ 400m Freestyle Relay team with Moore, Caelen Josey, Hook, and Alex Roberts took seventh at CIF with a time of 3:36.18.
Josey also took honors on the diving board.
Coach Szentesi said Josey won the Sunset League Championship in 1-meter diving with a score of 473.20 and set a new school record. That performance qualified him for the State Championships that were scheduled for Thursday, May 14 at Clovis West High School.
He went into the meet ranked 15th out of 27 divers, according to the Swimming & Diving State Championships program posted on the CIF website.
