In their final invitational before the start of the South Coast Conference Championships, the Cerritos College men's swimming team competed in just a few events at the Pasadena Invitational on Friday. The Falcon swimmers will take part in the conference championships at East Los Angeles College from April 16-18, which is the week after the conference diving championships.

In individual races, Rojas posted the 13th place time of 5:01.69 in the 500-yard freestyle, with three other teammates also competing in the event. The 200-yard IM time of 2:08.18 by Moreno placed him 27th out of 63 entries, with Owens right behind in 2:08.44 and came in 28th place. Moreno also touched up in 22.48 in the competitive 50-yard freestyle to finish 19th out of 127 swimmers.
