Throughout the night DJ Boogieman interacted with the Foothill Tech students, observing their energy and matching it with the songs that he played. Eventually he had everybody take their phone out and turn their flashlights on while playing “Flashing Lights” by Kanye West, getting the crowd hyped up and ready to dance. The DJ’s interaction with the crowd helps the environment and mood of the crowd making the dance more lively and enjoyable for everyone in attendance.

Karina Garcia started her swim at 1 a.m. in pure darkness. The swim was very isolating for her; she couldn’t hear or see anything. In her words, she had to “get her mind right”. Even in the dark, Garcia was able to see the darkness as a sense of peace to ease her mind throughout the swim. She captured moments such as feedings and the sun coming up as time passed by. Garcia expected and prepared herself to be in the water for 20 hours; she finished in almost 6 hours ahead of her expectations.
-
Karina Garcia, although alone in the water, completed the swim with many friends by her side, which she states made all the difference. There is a boat crew to keep her on track and determine whether the water conditions are safe, certified observers to make sure all the rules are followed, a kayaker Garcia follows to stay on course and most importantly to Garcia, a group of friends who worked as her support group throughout the entirety of the swim to encourage her and make sure her feedings were taken care of. Garcia would receive a feeding break every 30 minutes to fuel her body throughout the swim. These feedings for Garcia not only fueled her but also indicated to her how much time had gone by in her swim.

Karina Garcia became the third person to finish the open water swim from Santa Rosa Island to the mainland on Sept. 16, 2025. Garcia, a 2006 graduate from Rio Mesa High School, started her swimming career in high school, which ended after she graduated. Several years later, Garcia fell back in love with the sport through open water swimming as an adult, which led to her success in 12 open water marathons. Starting with her first marathon in 2016, she completed the swim from Catalina Island to the mainland, 20 miles, in 11 hours and 13 minutes, to her most recent marathon from Santa Rosa Island to the mainland, 27.5 miles, in 14 hours and five minutes. This time is now the record over all three swimmers to complete the 27.5-mile swim.
