Brownsville Veterans wins girls 32-4A swim meet

RGVSports.com
WESLACO — One half of the 2012 District 32-4A swim meet went as it usually does.
Roma defended its boys title by scoring 188 points to easily beat out Mission Veterans Memorial (116) and La Joya Juarez-Lincoln (103).
The girls half, however, had an historic first.
In just its second season of competition, the Brownsville Veterans Memorial Lady Chargers won the girls crown with 146 points. That was good enough to dethrone eight-time champion Mission Veterans Memorial, which finished second with 130.
Coach Frank Sanchez was effusive in praise of his young team, which needed only two years to win a championship.
“I think it says a whole lot (about the team),” said Sanchez, who also complimented the Mission Veterans team.
The Lady Chargers earned victories in the 200-yard medley relay, Adriana Salinas in the 200- and 500-yard freestyle, Yolanda Salazar in the 200-yard individual medley and 100-yard butterfly and Kelli Rodriguez’s triumphs in the 50-yard freestyle and 100-yard backstroke.
On the boys side, Roma also shined.
Under coach Calvin Snyder, the Gladiators finished first with a 200- and 400-yard freestyle relay victory, Jesus Rodriguez winning the 200-yard freestyle, Luis Gonzalez triumphing in the 50- and 100-yard freestyle, and Anthony Guerra claiming the 100-yard backstroke.
The regional meet is in two weeks in Corpus Christi.
