ACPA press release
Athens Christian Preparatory Academy recently hosted the first ever Texas Christian Athletic League (TCAL) swim meet at the Cain Center. ACPA has been instrumental in lobbying for the sport to be adopted under the league’s umbrella. The TCAL is a state-wide league that represents schools from all over Texas.
ACPA Athletic Director, Shawn SanMiguel, has coordinated efforts with TCAL to launch the new program.
“We are excited to have this opportunity to showcase our kid’s talents in a way that will be recognized at a state level,” said SanMiguel. “We were able to work with the Cain Center Director Tere Lawyer to coordinate efforts to bring the meets to our own community.”
The next swim meet will be on Oct. 18 from 11 a.m. until completion. ACPA expects to have approximately 150 swimmers participating from Texas.
ACPA Swim Coach, Willie Robson, has been preparing the team all summer. The ACPA Swim team took 1st overall at the maiden TCAL event.
“The swim team swam well, but they are nowhere near their potential.” said Robson. “By the February state meet I expect them to be in top form.”
All spectators are welcome to attend the meet. Admission is free.
