For 1st time in 16 years, SHS swimming qualifies 2 relay teams for state champs

It’s been 16 years in the making, but the Summit High School girl’s swim team is sending two relay teams to the 4A state championship this year.

At the 4A Western Slope league relays meet on Dec. 10 at Colorado Mesa University, the girl’s 200 freestyle relay team and 400 freestyle relay team both qualified for the state meet from Feb. 9-11. The 200 relay finished in 1:51.06 — fast enough to beat the school record by 0.5 seconds — and the 400 relay finished in 4:11.05. A big congrats to the four members on both teams from coach from head coach Jennifer Wischmeyer:
