The Aledo swim team participated in the Debbie Weems Invitational in Mansfield Dec. 8-9 and Haley Roberson led a contingent of strong performances by setting a school record in the girls 100-yard backstroke.
Roberson posted a time of 59.51 seconds in finishing third in the event. She also won the 200 freestyle, one of three events won by Ladycat individuals as Jacqueline Gruber placed first in the 50 free and 100 breaststroke.
The boys 200 free relay also captured first place.
“We saw some very strong 6A teams and some solid 5A teams at this invitational. These relay and individual placings are a strong showing by our much smaller team,” Aledo coach Meghan Roberson said. “What is especially impressive about these swims is that, for the most part, they’re not main events for these swimmers. We won’t see them compete in them at district/regionals/state. It shows what a strong swimmer they are all around, not just in one or two events.”
Aledo will next compete on Senior Night against Fort Worth Paschal on Jan. 11 at Wilkerson-Greines Activities Center in Fort Worth.
