McNeil Girls take 1st Place at largest Coastal Bend TISCA meet in history

The Mighty Maverick swimmers hopped in a bus at 5:30 in the morning to travel four hours to compete in the largest Coastal Bend TISCA meet in recorded history.  Not only did the Mavericks shine on both the girls and boys sides with inspired swimming, but the girls team was able to run away with the 1st place trophy outscoring all other teams by over one hundred points.  Coach Chapa and I are very proud of their sportsmanship and competitive spirit throughout our stay in Corpus Christi, Texas.  The Mighty Mavericks truly are approaching INVINCIBLE.  Can't wait to unleash this crew on their upcoming Championship Season.

Kira Morgan signs letter of intent and scolarship to the University of Maryland at Baltimore County!!!

The Maverick Family is proud to announce that the stressful times are over and our fantastically decorated senior captain has made her decision and the Retrievers are the lucky program to gain the commitment, talent and work ethic of our beloved Kira Morgan.  We are so very proud of all of her accomplishments and improvements she has made while swimming for McNeil High School the last four years.  UMBC will not regret their generous offer.  Congratulations to the Morgan and McNeil family for our newest member of collegiate swimming & diving.  Go Dawgs!!!
