Cody Hart (Sophomore) Men's Swimming

Hart was a driving force behind the men’s swimming team’s second-place finish at the Western State Conference Championships. The standout sophomore delivered an outstanding performance across all three days of competition, breaking four individual school records in the 50 Free, 100 Free, 200 Free, and 100 IM. Hart also contributed to all four relay teams that claimed conference titles. Individually, he captured first place in the 50 Free and 100 IM, and earned a runner-up finish in the 200 Free

Naomi Palvetich (Freshman) Women's Swimming

Palvetich played a pivotal role in each of Bakersfield College’s home playoff victories, clinching the deciding match in every round. The standout freshman went a perfect 4-0 last week, battling through tough competition to help BC dominate with near sweeps in both the Southern Regional Semifinals and Finals. Her efforts were instrumental in securing the program’s first-ever 3C2A Southern Regional Championship. She now sets her sights on the State Championship tomorrow, ready to continue making history.   

Women's tennis wraps up their season this weekend with a State Championship game tomorrow at Venutra against American River. They will play individuals and doubles during the weekend as well and conclude their historic 2025 season.
