Great Story

Got a chance to talk with Alex Weidemann at state meet last weekend.  He was a member of the first high school swim team at Mansfield HS.

He did a little club coaching with us at Mansfield Aquatic Club before taking a job to teach/coach at nearby Arlington Seguin HS.

His kids qualified for the state meet this year for the first time in school history.
