MCCRACKEN CO.–Marshall County’s swim teams combined boys and girls team totals placed them in first at the Paducah Invitational Swim Meet last Thursday at the Paducah Athletic Club. The 11 team invitational was hosted by Paducah Tilghman and included all the high school teams from McCracken County, Calloway County and Muhlenburg Central.
The team from Murray High finished in second place. The best individual performances came from Amanda Anderson who finished first in the 50 yard freestyle, Sydney Beckett and Cale Merrick second in the 200 yard freestyle, Josh Gordon second in the 100 yard breaststroke and the girls 200 yard relay team finished first.
On Saturday, 13 swimmers from the team qualified to swim at the Western Kentucky University Hilltopper Invitational while the rest of the team competed at the Murray Invitational meet at Murray State.
The Marshals face their toughest competition from across the state at the Hilltopper Invitational each year. The girls 200 and 400 freestyle relay team had the strongest finishes at the meet finishing fifth in the 200 and sixth in the 400. The swimmers competing at Murray State on Saturday had an opportunity to swim in some events they don’t normally swim in and gain valuable experience in the absence of some of the more experienced swimmers who were at the Hilltopper Invitational.
Christian Fellowship’s Jacob Buckingham also qualified to compete at the Hilltopper Invitational in the 50 yard freestyle
