Upcoming Competitions

Strengths

• “I have two really strong divers that should place in the top eight in both [Sunflower] League and State [championships] ,” said SM East Dive Assistant Coach Betsy Anderson.

Weaknesses

• "The only weakness is that we haven't won together. The last people who have won were a year older, so freshman in college," Sawyer Chapman said. "No one here knows what it's like to win."

Injuries

• Chase Kvapil, a top swimmer, tore his ACL at the beginning of the season and his teammates fear that the team might be affected at state. Aside from that, there have been no other injuries.

Lineup Changes

• There is no current line up changes.

Other Standouts

• Boys such as, Grant Kimmel, Barrett Tagmeyer, Sawyer Chapman, Emmet Lynch, and Charlie Holloway have been qualifying for state early, which takes the stress off of the team and allows them to work on their strokes.
• "If you get your state cut early, you have a lot of time to prepare and work on your strokes for the state meet with out having the stress of qualifying to go to state," Chapman said.
