Bullpup Swimmers Take Second in Wichita
Sports Editor Peter Holland Jr.
WICHITA— The McPherson High School boys swim team had another solid weekend as it took second in the Wichita Northwest Invitational on Saturday.
Rhys Vanderhoof had a big day as he took first in the 200 individual medley with the time of 2:15.07. Logn Ediger was not too far off with the third-place finish at 2:27.19. Matt Powers secured a state-qualifying time in the 200 freestyle.
Unsurprisingly, Will Powers and Justus Hampton also grabbed a pair of a first-place finish in their events. The 200 and 400 freestyle relay A team was also victorious. Head Coach Matt Cotton was also impressed by the 400 freestyle relay B team (Tytus Reed, Logan Ediger, Riley Shelton, Alex Houston) beating out the Derby team and recorded a state consideration time.
