Coppell Swim & Dive wrapped up its dual meet season Thursday, November 5, against Flower Mound at the Westside Aquatic Center in Lewisville. Both the Cowboys and Cowgirls finished second in their respective competitions, with several swimmers delivering significant improvements as the team prepares for championship season.

With the championship series approaching, Coppell entered the meet rested and competed in technical racing suits, allowing swimmers to evaluate their performances under conditions similar to those they will experience at championship meets.

MJ Holcomb delivered one of Coppell's standout performances, achieving two new Texas Interscholastic Swimming Coaches Association (TISCA) qualifying standards. Holcomb's performances also earned a place on Coppell's top relay teams, strengthening the program's lineup heading into postseason competition.

Annika Hammers made significant strides in two events, dropping 20 seconds in the 500-yard freestyle and 10 seconds in the 200-yard freestyle. Those improvements moved Hammers into the top eight among Coppell's girls swimmers, positioning her as a contributor heading into the championship series.

Unlike meets held during periods of heavy training, Thursday's competition provided an opportunity for athletes to assess their progress while rested. The results offered valuable insight into individual development and potential relay lineups as the team prepares for higher-stakes competition.

Although Coppell finished second in both team competitions, the individual improvements and qualifying performances provided encouraging signs for the Cowboys and Cowgirls.

With the dual meet schedule complete, Coppell now turns its attention to championship competition, where swimmers will look to build on their progress and deliver their strongest performances of the season.
