Bobcats Shine at PXU District Swim Meet!
Last night, our Bobcat swimmers delivered an incredible performance at the PXU District Swim Meet, showcasing talent, determination, and impressive time drops across the board!
šŸ… Congratulations to Javier Godinez!
Javi, our only four-year swimmer, earned the highest individual honor of the night—PXU Top Individual Boys Swimmer! What an amazing way to finish his high school swim career!
šŸ† Central Boys Swim Team Dominates!
Our boys team claimed the title of PXU Top Boys Swim Team, winning every individual event and coming within seconds of state qualifying times in the relays. Central had a swimmer in every event—a true display of depth and skill!
šŸ’Ŗ Small but Mighty: Central Girls Swim Team
With just three swimmers, our girls team scored an impressive 55 points! Lexy and Leah Lopez Barbosa each placed 1st in all their individual events, and both the Medley and 200 Free Relays saw major time drops. Outstanding work, ladies!
Let’s keep cheering on our Bobcats as they push toward state! Go Bobcats!
