THE MALDEN ADVOCATE - Friday, February 22, 2019 Page 5 MHS senior Kevin Ochoa crowned Div. 1 State Swim Champ Third Golden Tornadoes swimmer in school history By Steve Freker O ver 300 teams and thousands of swimmers jump into the pool to compete on the high school circuit each year, but only 25 student-athletes can call themselves State Champions in each division when the last lap is completed. Count Malden High School senior Kevin Ochoa in that number as he became just the third Golden Tornadoes swimmer in school history to be crowned a swimming State Champ. Ochoa is the MIAA Division 1 Boys State Champion in the 100-yard butterfl y event with a winning time of 51.87 seconds, just outdistancing sophomore Scott Spear of Reading, who placed second at 51.93. In came right down to the wire,” said longtime Malden High head coach Paul DeVincentis, himself a former standout Golden Tornadoes swimmer in the 1990s. “We are all thrilled for Kevin’s accomplishment. He has worked so hard for four years here and has been one of the guys we can really count on day in and day out.” “He’s [Ochoa] truly earned his spot in school history and certainly earned it with all the eff ort he’s put in through the years. This is the biggest reward and we are so happy for him,” Coach DeVincentis added. Ochoa had a meet to remember as he also fi nished third in MHS sophomore David Lombardi, who fi nished fi fth in the state, is shown (center) with other medalists in the 100 backstroke at the MIAA Division 1 State Championship Meet at Boston University.

Ochoa joins Golden Tornadoes Hall of Famers Ilya Fishman and Julie Dempster as Malden High’s only other State Swim Champions.
