This year’s Western Athletic Conference (WAC) for boys swim was held in Garden City on Friday, Feb. 9.

The meet was originally scheduled to be hosted in Hays on Thursday, Feb. 8, but was rescheduled due to inclement weather in Hays.

“This being my last WAC is really bittersweet,” Senior Scout Perryman said, “On the one hand I’m not having to train for swim anymore when I don’t want to, on the other hand I don’t get to swim with the homies anymore and that’s sad.”

Hays placed fourth out of five teams overall.

Perryman said he wasn’t very impressed with how the team did at the meet.

“I think we did okay, I would’ve like to have done better,” Perryman said, “At the beginning of the year I wanted to win WAC, but to be fair we weren’t really at full strength. We lost Isaac early on, and then everyone was kind of sick at one point. With what we had we did okay, and we all improved times which is fine too.”
