Swimmers were able to compete in several contests, but the swim meet was called off after a considerable storm rumbled through the area.
The Vidor boys relay team of Spencer Shrek, Damien Kirkland, Damian Mann and Hunter Heidleberg finished in 12th place in the Boys 200 yard medley relay with a time of 1:59.19, while another Vidor team featuring swimmers Blaine Shaw, Eddie Dyess, Slade Roberts and Peter Thorne finished 21st in 2:49.76.
