MANHATTAN – The Great Bend High School Panther boys’ swim squad topped a field of five teams as it claimed a victory at the Manhattan Quadrangular meet Wednesday.

“We had some amazing races today and some exciting time improvement from almost every person on the team,” head coach Steve Beaumont said. “We were excited to not only swim at a really nice facility at KSU, but also excited about the opportunity to race against some 6A schools. It has been a few years since we came away from Manhattan with a win.” 

The team had its best outing of the season by fa, Beaumont said. “Our relays were really on top of their game today and posted season best times in both the 200 and 400 freestyle relays. 

So many great individual swims today. I really cant single out any one person. This was just a great “team” win. I’m really proud of how our guys competed today. We are getting better every meet - and that is our goal.” 

The next meet will be  Tuesday, Jan. 19, at the Hays Center for Health Improvement. The start time is 4 p.m. 

The results were:

Team scores: 

Great Bend - 365

Manhattan - 294

Olathe North 292

Olathe South 250

Junction City 114
