Grapevine High School Swim Team with Regional Championship Trophy

On Saturday, February 7, Grapevine High School and Colleyville Heritage High School competed at the UIL Region 2-5A Swim and Dive Championship, where the GHS girls team won the regional title for the first time since 2016 and the CHHS girls team finished as the runner ups. 

Every early morning, the Grapevine girls swim and dive team encouraged and pushed each other in practice,” said Head Swim Coach Daniel Jau. “They came together, pushed past limits, and turned years of work into their first region championship since 2016.”

GCISD swim teams won five events at the regional meet and Jau was also named the boys and girls Region 2-5A Coach of the Year.

CHHS junior standout Aiden Tokarski was named the Region 2-5A Swimmer of the Year. Tokarski won two individual championships in the 200 and 500 yard freestyle events while breaking two school records. Tokaraski was also given All-American consideration. 

The UIL 5A state swim meet will be held February 19-21 at the Lee & Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center at the University of Texas at Austin.
