 On November 22, 2019 the El Paso Independent School District (EPISD) Invitational was held at the Westside Natatorium. 

As the day started, Coach Wright was being the DJ for the warm-ups; he put everyone in the mood with One Direction.

As warm-up finished, the team got ready for the Medley Relays, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, and freestyle.

As the competition continued, many placed in the finals for different events, such as the following: Lauren Barajas for 200 IM and the 100 Fly; Sophia Chabre for 100 back; Analia Cortez 100 breast and the 100 Fly; Elizabeth Gunnison for 100 back and 100 free; Celeste Hirschi for 500 free and 100 breast; Paulina Quiroz for 50 Free; Sofia Ruiz for 100 Back and 200 Free; Charlotte Schow for 50 free and 100 back; and Carolina Wong for 100 breast. 

As the day came to an end, every girl did amazing with their times, where Celeste Hirschi placed second for the 500 free. 

Congratulations to every girl on this team for their commitment and hard work that they did for this EPISD Invitational!
