The Dragon Hunt Invitational stands out as one of the teams major preseason invitational competitions, seeing the likes of teams from all over the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
“There are quite a few teams that go to this meet, the biggest one being [Carroll],” Coppell senior captain Ben Borchgardt said. ”We might also see big teams like Marcus, Lewisville and J.J. Pearce compete, so it’s going to be a competitive environment for sure.”
Last year’s Dragon Hunt Invitational saw a great performance from the Coppell swim team, as it bagged several wins along with many top three finishes and new personal records.
