The Mustangs remain undefeated in dual meet competition as the team begins its trek to the state championships in Austin at the end of February.

The meet began with a record-breaking performance in lane one. The freshman girls broke the 200-yard medley relay record – the third freshman relay record to fall this season. Lauren and Amanda Day, along with Madeline Hazle and Leah Pfitzer swam a time of 1:52.40 – a half second lower than the previous mark.

The Kingwood A-team of Jillian Vitarius, Michelle Gean, Sydney Conroy and Jamie Friderichs edged out Klein to win the medley relay.

The boys were also first in the 200-yard medley relay with Ryan Glander, Joseph Bergmeister, Steve Ciliske and Jordan Jones.

The 200-yard freestyle relays were equally competitive.

In the girls race, Klein out-touched Kingwood by two tenths of a second. The boys turned the tables to win the relay by the same fraction with Jones, Bergmeister, Patrick Pash and Matt Barber.

Kingwood easily won the 400-yard freestyle relays. Vitarius, Hazle, Gean and Katheryn Nolen beat the Klein girls by a full six seconds. Will Oswald, Glander, Pash and Barber out-distanced the Klein boys by almost four seconds.

The most notable individual performances were in the 100-yard butterfly.

Hazle won the event and broke the freshman record which stood since 1985 with a time of 58.05. Barber left the rest of the pool in his wake as he won the butterfly in 50.21. He also won the 200-yard freestyle with Oswald finishing a close second. Oswald took first in the 500-yard freestyle.

Next up, the Mustangs will go to districts Feb. 4-5, Atascocita High School.
