In the style of Texan Talk by Stephanie Stradley, Houston Chronicle:

First of all, I'd like to welcome the new swimmers to the 2013 team. Welcome! This year is anticipated to be better than any other. With a new coaching staff, a remodeled pool, and a batch of talented rookies, the Cardinals are gleaning with strength in numbers and innate talent. It is my hope that this year will be even more successful than the last, and that the Cardinals will take it all the way to State, with a winning District Championship.
To gauge this year's potential, I must highlight a few of this year's all-stars:
Logan Schiller: Height-5'7"; Stroke-200 IM/100 Freestyle
Schiller is a force to be reckoned with. This agile and slim swimmer has taken the State championship for the 100 Freestyle at the TAGS championship.
Hannah Sumbera: Height-5'8"; Stroke-100 Breastroke
Sumbera teams up with Schiller in one of the Houston Swim Club's fastest all-star relays. Sumbera is well known for her powerful stroke and finish in her specialty stroke, breaststroke.
Caleb Zhang: Height-5'6"; Stroke-100 Backstroke
The Cardinals need to fear no more with this speedy asset. Zhang holds the record at HSC for the 50/100 Backstroke.

With this talented crew, the Bellaire Cardinals are expected to have the strongest season yet.Can anyone smell success?
