HUTCHINSON — The Great Bend High School boys’ swim team racked up another second-place finish on Tuesday afternoon.
The Panthers finished with 346 points, falling behind host Hutchinson’s score of 363.
“I was really pleased with our guys,” Great Bend head coach Steve Beaumont said. “We’ve improved. We cut down on the mistakes and errors that we’ve been having. This was our best meet yet.”
Justin Kuhlman returned for his first meet since he suffered a concussion during the opening meet of the season.
“Justin’s back in the water,” Beaumont said. “I think he got back in the water for the first time on Saturday. He’s not having any problems.”
Kuhlman had four first-place finishes — two in individual events, two in relays.
Kuhlman won the 200-meter freestyle (1:58.65) and the 100 backstroke (1:00.06).
Kuhlman joined Nick Moyers, Cory Merten and Josh Schridde in the 400 freestyle relay to take first with a time of 3:50.22.
Moyers, Merten, Kuhlman and Ky Heeke combined for a 1:56.42 in the 200 medley relay, capturing first place.
