CORPUS CHRISTI - The John Paul II swim team will head to the TAPPS State meet this weekend looking to make even more history. As the Centurions are sending their first ever relay teams to San Antonio.

Johnny Alvarez will anchor the team, as he makes his second consecutive trip to state. The biggest difference this year will be in classification as John Paul has moved up to Division 1.
