ORLANDO – Many came in search of gold. But for the three musketeers from Citrus County who call themselves Pirates, this was not about the final destination, or a medal around their necks.

Instead, for Malachi Oakes, Ramon Moreno and Lorne Rodriguez, theirs was the kind of triumph of which Arthur Ashe referred when he said “success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome.”

And Friday saw the successful culmination of that journey, which they embarked on four years ago. For it was then that the trio entered the friendly confines of Crystal River High School as newbie freshmen, still searching for their place in life. On that first day none of them really knew each other very well. Oakes was the only real swimmer in the bunch. As for Rodriguez and Moreno, they were just victims of peer pressure from their mutual friend Masumi Palhof.

Lecanto's Jake Tamposi, above, and Crystal River's Malachi Oakes competed against each other in the freestyle at the Terra Vista Aquatic Center earlier this season. They'll both be representing their respective school's at the state swim meets in Orlando this week. Tamposi enters as the regional champ in the 100 breast and Oakes will swim the 100 and 200 free.

Crystal River, a Lady Pirate diver and a lone ranger from Lecanto to follow in their footsteps.

The county will be represented strongest by Crystal River’s Malachi Oakes and Lecanto’s Jake Tamposi, who made rewriting the history books almost a daily occurrence this fall.
