Late Tustin water polo and swimming coach Cesar Altamirano was remembered Tuesday as the Tillers raced in his honor at the Empire League swim prelims at Kennedy High in La Palma.
The meet held a moment of silence before the first race for Altamirano, 26, who died Sunday morning after sustaining injuries in a serious car accident in Long Beach three days earlier.
Swimmers also wrote the phrase, “Swim for Cesar!” on their arms with a marker.
Tustin vowed to dedicate the meet to the popular coach, who played water polo and swam at the school.
“Our kids did really well,” Tustin swimming and water polo coach Kyle Brawley said Tuesday night. “Lots of best times.”
Tustin’s Anders and Hayden Hundeby, a sophomore and freshman, qualified first-second in the boys 500-yard freestyle with times of 4 minutes, 59.12 seconds and 5:01.46.
Altamirano led the Tustin’s boys water polo team to a runner-up finish in the CIF-SS Division 6 playoffs in November. It was the school’s first finals appearance since 1982.
Altamirano also was a well-known coach at the SOCAL water polo club, leading the 12-and-under boys team.
A memorial fund for Altamirano has started and can be found here.
