In 2025, Cuesta Swimmer Grant Huston won three 3C2A State titles in the three most popular events, the 50, 100 and 200-freestyles, but shared the 2025 Swimmer of the Year Award with two other swimmers, who also won three events.  This year, Huston would not entertain any equals.  Huston, like all great champions, motivated himself to a higher purpose.  After earning all-Conference First Team honors in water polo during the Fall, he set his sights on swimming.  He obliterated the Cougars' record board and currently holds every record on the books, except for the non-championship 50-backstroke and the 1-meter and 3-meter diving marks.  Huston led the State in nearly every event, but was limited, by rule, to only three events at the championships.  He watched as his backstroke marks fell but demonstrated his dominance and versatility with a performance that awed any pretenders to his title.  Huston entered all three individual medley events, the 100, 200 and 400, and proceeded to break the 3C2A State Record in all three events.  

 

Huston ended his career as a six-time All-American and two-time Western State Conference and 3C2A State Swimmer of the Year.  Along with his three new State Records, he also tacked 11 new Cuesta standards to bring his record haul to 17 of the Cougars' 18 record marks.  To top it all off, Huston was accorded all-WSC First Team honors during water polo season in the Fall, while helping to lead the Cougars back to the WSC Title game and into the regional playoffs for the 47th straight year.
