The margin of victory also was the most in 19 seasons. El Camino placed second with 509 points while Pasadena City was third at 442. 

Mt. SAC won its sixth consecutive SCC team championship and 10th in its South Coast history (first in 2003).

Mt. SAC was led by Co-SCC Swimmers of the Year in Jason Harary (two SCC records set in the 200 and 400 IM) and Ethan Trieu, who each won three events.

Swim Coach of the Year honors went to the Mounties duo of Marc and Lani Ruh while Diving Coach of the Year was accepted by Rio Hondo's Charly Collins, who coached Aaron Augustine to SCC Diver of the Year honors in winning the 1 and 3-meter board titles.
