GARDEN CITY — The Golden Belt Swim Squad took third place at the Western Kansas Swim Club league meet over the weekend in Garden City.
The Spearman Swim Club from Texas took first place with 968 points. Guymon Swim Club from Oklahoma finished in second place with 686 points.
Golden Belt scored 636 points.
“We finished in third place overall,” Golden Belt Swim Squad head coach Steve Beaumont said. “Going in, I thought that Spearman was going to be the team to beat. They are pretty dominant. Guyman and us were expected to be in second and third place.
“We went back and forth with Guymon all weekend. We just ended up with the short end of the stick.”
Rachel Panzer and Aubrey Snapp each snagged a first-place finish in the eight-and-under girls division at the league meet. Panzer finished in first place in the 200-meter freestyle with a time of four minutes, 7.91 seconds.
Snapp touched in at 56.01 in the 50 backstroke for first place.
“The kids swam really well,” Beaumont said. “They turned in some really great times. Both the younger and the older kids swam really hard at the meet. They swam in 10 to 12 races in that heat over two days, I couldn’t be more pleased with them. They swam their hearts out.”
In the 12-and-under girls division, Kira Cook finished in first place in the 50 butterfly with a time of 38.76.
Next for the Golden Belt Swim Squad is the state’s division II meet in Kansas City, Mo., which starts on Friday and concludes on Sunday.
GBSS will be sending eight kids to the division II meet — Michaela Cape (14-and-under girls), Olivia Mull (10-and-under girls), Emma Cape (12-and-under girls), Emma Bieker (10-and-under girls), Dylan Dreiling (15-and-over boys), Nick Elliott (15-and-over boys), Emma Williams (12-and-under girls), Katherine Snapp (10-and-under girls) and Cole Pierce (12-and-under boys).
