Claire Oppedahl will swim at Concordia University in Irvine, California. She was a key member of the girls swim team which won CIF despite the fact Templeton High School does not have a swimming pool. The team worked out at a pool in Paso Robles. Unfortunately, Concordia does not have a pool, but Oppedahl says there is an impressive pool seven minutes from campus.

Maddie George is attending Wheeling University in Wheeling, West Virginia. Coach Keith Swank praised each player and thanked them for their contributions to the Eagles softball program.
