Oh said the community she was surrounded by helped her progress and improve. “I grew up with everyone that's part of the [swimming] community, and I also go to school with everyone that's part of that community,” Oh said. “It makes up a lot of who I am, because it includes my school friends, some of my best friends, and they're also kids that I've known for so long that have pushed me and helped me grow into who I am today.”](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/DSC04851-1200x900.jpg)

Although the Vikings mounted a comeback in the first quarter, the team was not able to keep that lead and ultimately fell to the Menlo-Atherton High School Bears, 49-54. According to Viking head coach Jeff LaMere, he was proud of the way his team battled through adversity during the match. “It [the pressure of the match] wasn't so much about it being a semifinal game as it was about the opponent we're playing,” LaMere said. “One of the difficult things about a tournament is the quick one-day turnaround. We talked a lot about how to prepare against their ball pressure … and our guys did a good job. Overall, I'm proud of our effort and how we fought the entire game.” (Photo: Ketan Altekar-Okazaki)](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/2M4A4202-e1708906422127-1200x842.jpg)
