“This is an honor to swim at this meet. The swimmers worked very hard to get times to qualify for this meet. Swimmers are able to qualify for this meet throughout the year both summer and winter teams can obtain qualifying times,” Head Coach Dana Stein said. “I am extremely proud of the team and all the swimmers that competed. You can’t just go to a meet like this and try to coast through it. You have to work hard and develop your skills to be successful. This was a great way to end the winter season and now we need to prepare for the summer season, where Guthrie County Area Swim Club has had some tough competition in the conference. Way to go, Guthrie County Barracuda Swimmers.”
