Injured Swimmer & Family Need Support

If you were at the state meet in February, you'll recall what a talented group of athletes Kingwood Park HS sent to Austin this year.

Their boys' team dominated the 4A meet. Their top swimmer, Joseph Stanton, touched out Bobby by a slim margin to claim victory in the 100 free. Earlier, Stanton had finished fourth in the 200 free. After his win in the 100 free, Joseph anchored Kingwood Park's first-place 200 and 400 freestyle relays.


Today, Joseph Stanton is in the ICU unit at Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston. He was seriously injured in a skateboarding accident a few days ago. Please take a few minutes to read his story here.

Hundreds of people have expressed their support for the Stanton's in recent days through the Guestbook link to his site. Read their messages of hope here.
