Panther swimmers compete at Wichita

WICHITA – The Great Bend swimmers competed in the most competitive meet of the season at Wichita Heights.

Matthew Huslig has bettered state qualifying times of state consideration times in the 200 IM (2:19.8), 200 freestyle (1:54.46) and 500 freestyle (5:30.8).

The 200 medley relay (1:55.07) and 400 free relay (3:50.59) have also passed state consideration times.

“We swam well. We had several more seasonal personal best times,” said Great Bend coach Kari Carper. “Brody Feist is really close to earning a state consideration time in the 50 and 100 free. Jacob Kennedy is inching towards a consideration time in the 50 free.”
