The WHS Swim team traveled to Waco on Saturday, January 8, 2022 for the last regular season meet at the Midway Winter Invitational. This was the most challenging swim meet so far as they raced against several elite opponents. When all the final scores had been tallied, the Lady Indians took 3rd Place overall. The Indian Men were able to secure 2nd Place. At the end of the day the Indian swimmers took pride in their competitive nature at this event, as well as their determination to remain focused and pull together as a team. The WHS swim team finished in 3rd place for their combined team score.
As the swim season is quickly coming to an end Coach Pruitt expressed how proud she was of her senior swimmers. “This is the largest senior class of swimmers in the history of the WHS swim program. This group is versatile. A few are able to swim all four strokes at a competitive level, so we have many options going into the district meet. This is a very special group of seniors.”
The Indian swim team is looking strong for the UIL 6A District Meet in Mansfield on Wednesday, January 19, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. Several of the swim team members such as: Cade Ferry, Thomas Gattin, Hannah Saenz, Tyeler Hess, Asa Condor, Keira Lehman, Victoria Chavarria, and Sydney Sambell are expected to be seeded in the top 3 of their individual strokes going into district. All 3 of the girls’ and boys’ relays have the opportunity of being on the medal stand. The WHS Swimmers invite you to attend and show your Waxahachie Spirit by coming out and supporting them on the 19th.
