Tartan Surf Declaws Lions 55-24 in Huntington Beach
St. Margaret's closed out Scholastic Surf Series competition on a high note.
St. Margaret's surf program picked up a 55-24 win over JSerra as the Scholastic Surf Series season came to a close in Huntington Beach Saturday.
The Tartans enjoyed strong performances in early heats with great conditions to get things started. In the team competition, Ry O'Hill, Brendan Lyons, Gareth Thomas, Colt Ettwein and Chloe Eskander delivered standout rides in the shortboard division, earning necessary points for the Tartans. The momentum continued in the longboard heats, where Logan Cuda, Marcus Vojtus, Annika Tufo, and Peyton Cruse all placed in the top two, advancing to the individual finals later in the day.
The afternoon finals showcased some of the Tartans' best surfing of the season. Chloe Eskander captured the win in women's shortboard, while Annika Tufo finished fourth. Peyton Cruse earned the top finish of her career with an impressive second place overall in women's longboard. Brendan Lyons continued his consistent excellence with a third-place finish in men's shortboard, and Colt Ettwein battled his way into the final, placing fourth. Sawyer Collins also finished strong, taking fourth place in the bodyboard event.
The teams' eight seniors were celebrated for their leadership and dedication to the surf program; Peyton Cruse, Logan Cuda, Hudson Locke, Ross Johnson, Ry O'Hill, Annika Tufo, Chloe Wainwright, and Violet Yoshida marked four years of competition for the Tartans and will be greatly missed.
Up next for St. Margaret's: 13 Tartan surfers will compete against the top surfers from up and down the California coast in the Scholastic Surf Series State Championships held March 21-23 in Oceanside.
