HUTCHINSON — The Great Bend High School girls’ swim team had two first-place finishes at the meet on Thursday.
The Lady Panthers finished in second place with 316 points. Garden City claimed first place with 337.
“I think they did really good tonight,” GBHS head coach Stephanie Maier said. “We had faster times than usual in a lot of different events. Maddie (Vesta) took off five seconds in her 100 fly. We just don’t have the sprinters to win the meet.”
Great Bend’s 200-yard medley relay team — Michaela Cape, Brianna Schartz, Hannah Hildebrand and Allison Damm — took first place with a time of 2:07.54.
Damm also finished in first place in the 500 freestyle, touching in at 6:12.07 ahead of teammate Brenna Haines, who finished second at 6:27.37.
Damm took second in the 200 freestyle as well.
Maddie Vesta finished in second place in the 100 butterfly with a time of 1:12.95.
Hildebrand finished in second place in both the 200 individual medley and the 100 backstroke.
