Morton Ranch hosted a tri-meet with Cypress Falls and Westside Thursday night.

“This was our first year to swim Westside and Cy Falls. I was excited to get a hold of them and swim a couple of extra dual meets,” said Morton Ranch coach Julie Hinson.

With the district championships just two weeks away and the regional meet following, these different district teams got an early glimpse of what is to come. 

“I really like the tri-meet because it allows you to swim more than one team at time and you get to see a lot more competition,” said Hinson.

Taking first for the men was Morton Ranch with a 121 to 86 win over Cy Falls and a 141 to 120 win over Westside. On the women’s side, Westside swept the board with a 140 to 111 win over Cy Falls and a 179 to 71 win over Morton Ranch.

“We’re two weeks out from district and I’m really happy with where we are right now,” said Hinson.
