    A clerical mistake with entries prevented El Toro’s girls swimming team from racing the relays at the Sea View League finals on Friday, Chargers athletic director Armando Rivas confirmed.

    The host Chargers didn’t race in finals of the 200-yard medley relay, 200 freestyle relay or 400 freestyle relay, according to results online, and it cost them the league title.

    El Toro scored 435 points off individual events — by far the most among Dana Hills, Mission Viejo and Trabuco Hills — but didn’t record any points in relays to finish second behind Dana Hills. The Dolphins tallied 475 total points, including 184 on relays — to capture their first league title.

    Mission Viejo and Trabuco Hills scored 396 and 333 points, respectively.

    El Toro beat Dana Hills, Mission Viejo and Trabuco Hills in league duals by large margins.

    The Chargers, a Division 2 team for CIF-SS competition next week, achieved at least CIF consideration times in all three relays during the league dual meets, based on results online.

    Teams qualify for the CIF preliminaries based on times posted throughout the season but most of the fastest times are often posted at the league finals.
