FCST places 15th at SC TAGS Championship!

FCST finishes 15^th at SC TAGS Meet

24 FCST athletes traveled to San Antonio for the annual short course Texas Age Group Swimming (TAGS) Championship, March 6-9, 2014. This is a meet held at the end of each short-course and long-course season, with many time standards faster than the national AAA time for each event. For qualifiers, this provides appropriate and challenging competition on a regional level.

FCST finished in an impressive 15^th place, with the majority of the TAGS roster comprised of swimmers ages 12 &U. Many 13-14 swimmers have chosen to attend the NASA Junior National meet (March 26-29) due to their respective training plans.
