The WHS Swim team competed at the Southwest Winter Invitational in Ft Worth, Tx on Saturday, December 11, 2021. The Indian Men dominated the lanes and secured 1st Place out of ten teams. The Lady Indians, with several impressive races, took 2nd Place out of 9 teams.

The highlight of the meet was when Junior, Tyeler Hess, broke the Waxahachie High School record in the 50-yard freestyle that had stood since 2003. Her time of 26.21 beat the old record of 26.36.

Throughout the day the upperclassmen and veteran swimmers proved their ability by taking many first and second place individual spots which gained heavy points toward the overall team placement. However, if this season has proven anything about the entire WHS team, it has been the commitment to hard work, perseverance, and team unity. On Saturday, as in the past meets, the Indian swimmers came together and collectively contributed to the overall team score earning the “W” as a team. The hard-fought 4th-6th place wins from Ryan Sledge, Grace Garling, Alyssa Bonnette, Enrique Martinez, Gabe Perez, Judd Sears Nash, Kayla Brown, Lucas Kelley, and both the “B” relay teams gained necessary points. These 4th-6th place earnings helped to seal the WHS lead and ultimately the team win. It was a great day to be a WHS swimmer!

As the swim season narrows down, Tamara Pruitt, WHS Swim Coach, is expecting more records to be broken and individual personal best times to be achieved.

The Indians will be competing in Waco Midway on January 8th for their last regular season meet. The District 6–6A Championship Meet will be held on Wednesday, January 19th at 10:00 am at the Mansfield ISD Natatorium and the WHS swimmers would love to see you there to show your support and Indian pride.
