Eight Wimberley Texans punched their tickets to State with strong finishes at the Region IV-4A swim championship meet in San Antonio last weekend. Four relays, boys and girls 200 yd medley relays and 400 yd freestyle relays, and three individual events, Michael Donovan’s 100 yd breaststroke and Jeremiah Bales’ 50 yd freestyle and 100 yd butterfly, will have Texans on the starting blocks at the State Championships on February 12 and 13.
The girls 400 yd freestyle relay, made up of seniors Brooklyn Bursiel, Charlotte Woodward, Zorah Schwalb-Stang and junior Gracie Colyer, had the strongest showing with a third-place finish and a proud moment on the podium at the post-meet award ceremony.
The boys 400 yd freestyle relay, consisting of senior Rayder Pack, junior Michael Donovan, and sophomores Jackson Shinn and Jeremiah Bales, placed 4th in preliminaries and dropped to fifth in finals, securing a spot at State.
