FCST takes 3rd at AG Champs!

FCST Takes 3^rd at annual Gulf Age Group Champs!

68 age groupers made the trip up to The Woodlands for the annual Gulf Age Group Championship, December 13-15. This meet is for 14 & U swimmers who have made AG qualifying times in either short course or long course. This is often the first prelims/finals meet for AG swimmers of the short course season, where the top 8 10&U and 11-12’s, and top 16 13-14’s come back at night for a second chance to race and move up in the rankings. Racing and moving up in the ranks are main objectives for meets like these, as swimmers are striving to earn a 2^nd swims and score points.
