""Koudelka switched from distance to sprints this past season and brought home silver medals in the 100 and 200-meters at the UIL meet back in February. He was second in the 200 freestyle and fourth in the 500 freestyle at the state meet in 2011 and second in the 500 freestyle and eighth in the 200 freestyle at the state meet in 2010 as a sophomore.""

Congrats anyways.

Heck, I'm proud of Grant Koudelka. He got a full scholarship to a major university because of his ability and hard work, and it was to the University of Texas to boot. It's not often you get to see someone from a 3A school in East Texas get a paid scholarship to swim. Football, yes, but swimming? This is the first time it's ever happened in Gilmer for swimming.

We don't even have a pool in Sweeny. Congrat's to the Gilmer swim team.

That's no excuse. We don't have one in Gilmer either. This guy worked out in Longview, as I understand it.

Good job, I am sure he deserves it.

He'd have to be pretty dang good to receive a full scholarship from Texas. Congrats to Grant and Gilmer HS!

Argyle had two girl swimmers that each won all-state in 4A last year as juniors. I think that is about it for our swim team. I don't know how they are doing this year. Is swimming still going on in 4A? The Argyle school website isn't the most current or up-to-date place to get any high school news, unfortunately. They have lots of room to improve in that department.

So much for that home pool advantage....

Swimming is alive & well in 4A...y'alls evil twin Highland Park is big time...I saw no mention of Argyle in the State Meet on UIL website...may not have qualified...I did notice Lovejoy participated in Girls 500 Yard Freestyle - Emily Nightingale and Girls 200 & 400 Freestyle Relays...
I really admire those who particiate in these un-common sports...like Grant, you work alone and for very little recognition. Congrates to all who make that sacrifice.
