GCHS swimming wins at home; qualifies two for state

Garden City, KS (westernkansasnews.com)-The Buffaloes accomplished two feats on Thursday: they took down arch-rivals Dodge City and Liberal and qualified two teams for state. 

Garden City took home first place in nine of the 12 events on their way to squashing the Demons and Redskins with 283 points. Dodge City finished second with 185 followed by Liberal at 129. 

“It was a really good day,” said Grace Schmidt, who took first in the 200-yard medley relay; the 200-yard freestyle; the 100-yard backstroke, and the 400-yard freestyle relay. “I was able to cut my times; especially in the backstroke.”

While Schmidt soared, her team followed suit-qualifying both the 200-yard medley and the 400-yard freestyle relays for the state meet.
