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. Results for Winfield Meet on 1/16 Oliver Witt: 3rd in the 200 medley relay, 4th in the 200 free relay, Individual Medley 2nd in heat 8th overall, 6th in the 100 freestyle Bobby Kemmerer: 3rd in the 200 medley relay, 4th in the 200 free relay, Individual Medley 1st in heat 6th overall (state consideration time), 5th 50 freestyle Results Osawatomie Meet on 1/22 Bobby Kemmerer & Oliver Witt: 200 Medley Relay 1st (state consideration time), 200 free relay (State Qualifying Time) Bobby Kemmerer: 1st in the 50 Free (state consideration time), 2nd in the 100 Backstroke Oliver Witt: 3rd in the 50 Free, 2nd in the 100 Butterfly (both races swam a best time)
