USD 234 - Fort Scott will be in session today, Thursday, February 13. Bundle up and use caution on the roads this morning. #BuckleUp

Fort Scott Tigers were back in the pool competing in Winfield last Thursday, January 16th and in Osawatomie last night, January 22nd. Oliver and Bobby continue to put up competitive times and race against the clock for a State Qualifying time. In Osawatomie their 200 Free Relay made their laps count and earned a State Qualifying Time of 1.38.61. However, since not all 4 members of the relay attend the same high school the time will not qualify them for State. At the State Swim Meet relays can only contain 4 members from the same high school. Since many high school teams co-op for boys swimming, it is not unusual for a relay to swim a qualifying time and not be able to compete in the State Meet. This relay consisted of Bobby Kemmerer and Oliver Witt from Fort Scott High School, Josh Slansky from Chanute High School and Anthony Pousher from Parsons High School. The next meet will be at Blue Valley West next Thursday, January 30th at 4:00.
