The Great Bend High School girls’ swim team hosted a swim meet on Thursday at Kirkman Activity Center.The Lady Panthers finished first in 10 events to top Hays and Campus. Great Bend finished with 257 points, beating Hays’ second-place total of 124.It was the first meet back for some of Great Bend’s veteran swimmers, who missed out on early weeks of practice due to the postseason run of the girls’ basketball team.“Right now, all of our veterans and most of them are basketball kids, they’ve only had nine days of practice,” GBHS head coach Steve Beaumont said. “I was surprised the times that they were able to swim today considering they’ve only been in the water less than 10 days.“All things considered, I was really pleased with all the times those girls swam.
