Mavericks Show WELL at Region Meet!!!

After solid performances in a tough district meet, the Mighty Mavericks set their sites on Houston, Texas, which happened to be the next stop on the road to the Texas State Swim Meet. The Maverick performances showed that we definitely belong among the most talented swimming in the state, and possibly the country. It was quite the spectacle. The accolades and life-long memories might be too many to count, but here are a couple of the high notes.

  • Out of 32 teams competing in Region IV-5A our girls and boys finished 5th and 8th respectively. Both are not only big improvements from last year, but school records for region place finishes in 5A competition.
  • All relays advanced past Friday into Saturday competition as well as 16 Individual swims/dives
  • 4 Relays and 9 Individual swims made it to the"A" Final on Saturday's competition which means they are eligible to be called up to the Texas State Swim Meet on Feb. 24th and 25th.
  • McNeil has one automatic state qualifier with Ian Bishop WINNING the 100 breaststroke at the Regional Meet.
  • 9 new team records were set this weekend!!!
  • 50 Freestyle - Alexis Widacki - 24.28
  • 100 Freestyle - Alexis Widacki - 52.50
  • 200 Freestyle - Rachel Hobbins - 1:54.74
  • 500 Freestyle - Rachel Hobbins - 500.72 (10 year old record)
  • 100 Breaststroke - Ian Bishop - 56.97
  • 200 Individual Medley - 1:54.11
  • 200 Free Relay - Morgan, Benck, Seibert, Widacki - 1:38.44
  • 400 Free Relay - Morgan, Hobbins, Benck, Widacki - 3:34.36
  • 400 Free Relay - Wiese, Lapinski, Hammock, Bishop - 3:15.52

All in all, what a weekend!!! We will find out who advances to state once all of the other regions conclude their competitions. I am so proud of my mighty Mavs. Our season has been a gloriously successful one. So much so, that it is being extended another two weeks to the Texas State Swim Meet. Best of luck to all those eligible for call-ups. Congratulations to everyone on their amazing success.
