200 Miles and Counting

This past weekend, the swim team traveled to Belton for a two-day district meet.  31 swimmers competed on Friday at prelims and 27 qualified for finals on Saturday.  After two exciting days of close races, Midway’s teams came up short by just a few points to Belton, finishing second overall.  18 MHS swimmers will continue the season at the Region 3 Championship Meet in Rockwall.
