The Guthrie County Swim Club had another successful year, placing second in both the regular season and the conference championship meet. Head Coach Dana Stein stated that the club had 109 swimmers this year, ranging from ages 5 to 18.
“It takes a strong team with great athletes and supportive parents to have the success that this team continues to have year in and year out,” Coach Stein said. “These swimmers are representing this team and community extremely well. We had been the regular season champions the past nine years and conference meet champions the past three out of four years prior to this year. This team continues to amaze me and works very hard.”
The team started practice on the Tuesday after Memorial Day and completed its season on Saturday, July 13.
Ty Thomas was the lone senior this year and has been a leader for the team for more than 12 years. Coach Stein stated that many of the younger swimmers have looked up to Ty for many years.
At the conference meet, the Guthrie County All Stars were awarded medals. All-Star means that they accumulated a certain number of points in each event throughout the season, and All-Around All-Stars accumulated at least 170 points or more throughout the season.
