Most recently, the Southlake Carroll Swim team finished first at the Dragon Hunt Swim Meet on Oct. 25. More than 400 swimmers from 13 DFW teams competed for “screaming rubber chickens” at the meet that features the annual favorite “Rubber Chicken Relay.” The Dragons had seven first-place individual finishes and many more top-three finishes. Additionally, every Carroll relay team finished in the top three, with every girls’ relay team finishing first, showcasing their dominant performance.
As November arrives, the Dragons look to continue winning and protecting the tradition.
