Katy High School’s Tiger swim teams took honors in the CFISD Polar Plunge on January 7, according to the Katy

Tiger e-newsletter. The girls team was third overall and boys were seventh out of 22 teams.

records and meet records broken,” the newsletter said. Katy swimmers and divers had several personal bests

2000 (a 25-year-old record!) with a 55.56 and scoops up the 100 Br Record as well, going 1:02.10,

replacing Derek Wintergrass' record from 2020.
