ESPN Athlete of the Week- Grant Huston, Swim & Dive

Freshman Swimmer Grant Huston has been selected as the Cuesta's ESPN1280 Athlete of the Week for an unprecedented third time this season.  Huston has torched the Cougars' record book this season and capped his year at the 2025 CCCAA State Championship as the co-State Swimmer of the Year.  Huston's versatility shined all season, but his real triumph was his season finale.  Despite his versatility, he competed in the three most popular and tightly contested events at the CCCAA State Championships; the 100, 200 and 500-freestyles.  He did not just win, but comfortably swept the competition, while also setting three new Cuesta Records.   On the season, Huston set new records in eight of the program's 18 individual events, while posting an all-time Cuesta Top 10 mark in eight more.  The only events he does not own a Top 10 time are the pure sprint, 50-freestyle, which he missed by just over half a second (:00.57) and the rarely contested non-championship 1000-freestyle.  However, he did break the previous marks for both the 500 and 1,650-freestyles, by 13 and 19 seconds, respectively.
