Congratulations to the First Colony swimmers who combined for a 2nd place finish at the Tri-meet versus both Cypress-Fairbanks and The Woodlands this past weekend at the Fort Bend ISD Training Pool. This was a high-profile meet with 3 of the biggest teams in the Gulf competing under one roof which included more than a handful of some electric races that will surely continue the momentum heading into Championship season next month. With the relays at the start of each session, FCST was able to showcase their teamwork and combined sprint speed to close out and win some relays over the competition, and with those relay wins was able to squeak out a narrow place over TWST by 55 total points.

Parker Efird(9/10) and Mason Ramsower(11/12) each notched multiple wins in their respective events in remarkable fashion. Both Efird and Ramsower seem to be in end-of-season form right before December Champs which bodes well for the individual goals and FCST as a whole. Meredith Brown(15-18) and Keely Rollinson(15-18) were able to dominate their age group events with each placing in the Top-8 in all of their races total for the morning sessions, with Ashlyn Hembree(15-18) closing in right behind them with nine Top-8 finishes. Sisters Addie Williford(9/10) and Elise Williford(7/8) both had strong showings as they had a combined 16 Top-8 finishes throughout the three day meet to help pave the way for the 12 & Under session to showcase their skills and speed.
Thank you to all those who made this meet possible and for putting together a great atmosphere throughout the weekend during the cold, rainy weather surrounding us. Parents, swimmers, timers, officials, volunteers,board members, and coaches, thank you for your continued support and for allowing meet to run smoothly and for FCST swimmers to show what this team is capable of.
