BENICIA SENIORS (from left) Evan Sousa, Caitlin Wirth, Nathan Robertson, Justeen Singley, Nick Barlow, Nicole Peck and Cris Gomez have been a big reason for the swim team’s success this spring.

The Benicia Panthers will vie for the swimming crown this weekend at the SCAC championship meet hosted by American Canyon. The Panther boys and girls went undefeated during the regular reason but still need a victory on Saturday to bring home another pennant.
