The LHS boys swim team competed at Wichita Northwest High School at a meet with 15 teams total on Saturday, January 31st. It was a great meet in which many of our swimmers continue to achieve personal records, by shortening their times. One of those includes the Liberal A relay, which was able to cut down their seed time by 19 seconds, going from 2:25.48 to 2:06.25, winning 1st place for their heat in the 200 freestyle relay. Another one includes the Liberal A relay which was able to cut down their seed time by 26 seconds, going from 5:27.13 to 5:01.98 in the 400 Freestyle relay, Which is a GREAT accomplishment! Liberal finished 15th overall.
