CCS swim championships: Palo Alto makes history as first school to win boys, girls titles in same year

SAN JOSE — Palo Alto has long been a powerhouse at the Central Coast Section swimming and diving championships. 

The Vikings are a perennial contender at the CCS meet, having won back-to-back boys team championships in 2022 and 2023. The girls won titles in 1995, 2005 and two in a row in 2016 and 2017. 

But Paly took things to another level on Saturday at Independence High School. For the first time in the proud history of the Vikings program, Paly won both the boys and girls team titles at the CCS championships.
