Eye on the prize– Senior Arin Hindman swims the 200-yard individual medley at the Keller meet on Dec. 6. Hindman took fourth with a time of 2:45.96.

The Aqua Tribe is hosting an invitational meet today and tomorrow.

“I am ready for this meet,” junior Madi Werner said. “It gives us a chance to prove ourselves.”

The Aqua Tribe comes off a fourth place finish at the Keller meet which is open to 4A schools from around the state. “My time improved in Keller,” junior Kenzie Ivins said. “Not only at Keller, but throughout the season as well.”

As they approach district in January the Aqua Tribe will intensify workouts with practices scheduled throughout the holiday break.

“I want to get my 500 freestyle under seven minutes,” Ivins said. “I’m working on it for district.”

Throughout the season the Maidens have put in work placing in the top three at several meets.

“There are much better swimmers out there,” Werner said. “No matter how good they are, I’m trying to do my best.”
