In their 2018 – 2019 debut swim meet, the boys swim team places fifth amongst six teams in Salina. The Salina Central swim meet hosted Salina South, Campus, Great Bend, Garden City, Hays and Liberal.

The team saw success individually with junior Isaac Smith qualifying for state in the 100 butterfly and the A team 200 Freestyle relay coming just short of a state qualification.

“The meet went pretty good,” freshman Chris Goodale said. “I swam fast and the team did great.”

The Salina meet was a new experience for the new freshmen swimmers. Regardless, almost every swimmer improved in some way.

“The returners did really well and they all took times off,” Head Coach Faith Schindler said. “The new guys adjusted well to the flow and swam phenomenally.”

The team will swim in Great Bend next week on Dec. 4.
