Terry Wong selected to coach in MAC All-Star Swim Meet

VICKSBURG, Miss. (VDN) — Terry Wong has been selected to coach in the Mississippi Association of Coaches All-Star Swim Meet. The announcement came Friday morning, naming Wong as a coach for the North Team alongside Johnathan Haynes and Jennifer Clay.

Wong serves as the head swim coach at both Warren Central and Vicksburg High Schools. Most recently, he led Warren Central’s boys team to its third consecutive district championship and guided the girls team to its second straight district title.

Since taking over the Gators’ program in 2022, Wong has revitalized local swimming, keeping Vicksburg High’s team active after a coaching vacancy. He has twice earned Coach of the Year honors and currently has a couple of former athletes competing at the collegiate level.

Wong’s current swimmers will compete at the MHSAA Class II State Meet on Oct. 18 in Tupelo. The All-Star Swim Meet is scheduled for Nov. 15 at the Tupelo Aquatic Center.
