Coronado hosted The Bishops School for their first home swim meet of the 2026 campaign. The girls beat the Knights handily, 92-65. The boys, however, lost by 12, 79-91. 

For the girls, there were three individual first-place finishes from Jillian Stachowicz, Mirren Fallon and Baleri Garces. A relay team of Stachowicz, Fallon, Isabella Kenny and Kailyn Cornell also notched two victories in the meet. 

The boys’ showing was highlighted by Gage Everitt, Cedrick Tolentino and Devin Ertekin. Everitt took first in the 200 freestyle and 100 butterfly, Tolentino won the 500 freestyle and Ertekin took first in the 100 backstroke. 

The Islanders’ next meet is on April 7 at 6:30 p.m. It’s hosted at Brian Bent Memorial Aquatics Complex, and they’ll be facing rival Point Loma.
