SAN DIEGO – All-League boys and girls teams, All-CIF titles, and a pair of All-Americans – these accomplishments were part of the 2025 Point Loma High swim team.
Leading the honors were sophomore speedster Alex Pletcher and junior girls standout McKenna Carroll, both of whom were named members of the 2024-2025 National Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association All-American Team. This honor recognizes the top 100 swimmers in their events nationwide.
Pletcher ranked 10th in the country in the 200 Free and 30th in the 100 Free, where his best time was 44.19 seconds. Carroll ranked 59th in the 200 Free with a time of 1:49.38.
But there were plenty of their teammates who also gathered All-League and All-CIF honors by placing among the top finishers in each event.
At the San Diego City Conference Championships for girls, senior Sienna Borchert (500 Free) and freshman Bree Carroll (100 Fly) joined Carroll (200 IM and 100 Back) as All-Leaguers.
