Thursday’s Valley Oak League showdown (April 21) between Oakdale’s and Sonora’s elite swim programs gave Mustang swimmers a clear shot at the conference title … and they made the most of it.

Oakdale boys landed big wins across the board to steal an easy win and conference title, while the Oakdale girls came back with late victories to snare their own undefeated VOL honor this season.

Oakdale’s swim program earns a collective Athlete of the Week honor from The Leader for a huge day in the conference pool and an undefeated season throughout, consistently putting standout performances together.

The swim team will continue to hunt for success as they tackle the upcoming VOL tournament and take on frosh/soph and varsity swimmers at the Sac-Joaquin Section championships later in the year.
