Swim – Girls 2nd, Boys 3rd In the 7th Annual Duck Dash

Girls 2nd, Boys 3rd In the 7th Annual Duck Dash

Cougar swimmers have been working exceptionally hard this season and their hard work paid off this past Saturday in Lufkin. 165 Swimmers representing 14 teams from East Texas, Beaumont and Houston came together at the Lufkin Swim Center for the Duck Dash Invitational. Rubber ducks were awarded to the swimmers for placing in the top three in a heat. Cougar swimmers came away with well over 65 ducks. The girls team, being led by Molly Mathis (who won both of her individual events), and junior Kayla Minick (winning backstroke), placed second overall behind the host team Hudson High School. The boys team, led by senior Seth Wilson (winning 50 Freestyle), placed third overall, just behind Whitehouse and Vidor High Schools. Even after grueling workouts over Christmas break, Cougar swimmers were still able to achieve 11 personal best times. The swimmers are now focusing on the Pre-Regional meet to be held at Prosper High School Natatorium on January 13th.
