BOYS SWIM TAKES 2ND AT DISTRICT MEET; GIRLS TAKE 3RD

Cypress Creek High School junior Zac Hawes competes in the 100 breaststroke event at the District 17-6A Swimming and Diving Championships, taking first place with a time of 1:01.37. Hawes also won first place as a part of the Cougars’ 200 medley relay team and in the 200 individual medley.

The Cypress Ranch High School boys’ and girls’ swim teams won their respective team titles in the District 17-6A Swimming and Diving Championships, held Jan. 29-30 at Cypress Springs and Cypress Ranch high schools.

The Cypress Ranch boys won with a score of 124, followed by runner-up Cypress Creek (111) and third-place Langham Creek (90).

Cypress Creek High School junior Zac Hawes had another outstanding performance in the swim meet, winning the 200 individual medley and 100 breaststroke individual events, then winning first with the Cougars’ 200 medley relay team.

“It shows that my hard work has paid off throughout the season,” Hawes said. “The goal all year has been to go to state, so we’ll know after next weekend.”

Cypress Ranch High School juniors Luke Bowman and Madison Kinsey were named Male and Female Swimmers of the Meet, respectively.

Cypress Ranch clinched its third consecutive girls’ title with 182.5 points ahead of runner-up Cypress Woods (151.5) and third-place Cypress Creek (77). It marked the second straight season for both the Mustangs boys’ and girls’ to clinch district championships.

“This means a lot,” said Bryan Hutchinson, Cypress Ranch head swim coach. “The girls have stuck together, they’re a great group with a ton of seniors and it’s been fun watching them win the past three titles now. On the boys’ side, we weren’t sure what we were going to do but it was a total team effort. We had people score one point here, one point there and it came down to five points in the last relay. It was outstanding.”

Cypress Ranch head swim coach Bryan Hutchinson cheers on his athletes during the District 17-6A swim meet on Jan. 30. Hutchinson was named Coach of the Year. 

Hutchinson was named Coach of the Year for the Mustangs’ success. Cypress Ranch juniors Luke Bowman and Madison Kinsey were named Male and Female Swimmer of the Meet, respectively.

Kinsey won the 50 freestyle and 100 butterfly individual events, and was a member of the winning 400 freestyle relay team. Bowman won the 200 freestyle and 100 backstroke individual events, and was a member of both the first-place 200 freestyle relay and 400 freestyle relay teams.

Cypress Falls High School sophomore Aaron Chung competes in the 400 freestyle relay event at the District 17-6A Swimming and Diving Championships on Jan. 30. The Golden Eagles placed eighth in the event.

“Both of them are complete team players and they wanted to perform the best they could,” Hutchinson said. “They came up huge in individual events and were key in the relays. Both Luke and Madison worked hard, and they did outstanding today.”

Cypress Woods High School sophomore Isabelle Decker was named Female Diver of the Meet and Cypress Springs High School seniorLuis Balzadua was named Male Diver of the Meet.

Cy-Fair High School junior Montana Grosch encourages a member of the Bobcats’ 400 freestyle relay team at the district swim meet on Jan. 30. The Bobcats placed fifth with a time of 3:20.49.
