The Valley Center High School boys swimming team finished the regular season and participated in the Ark Valley Chisholm Trail League meet at El Dorado High School on Feb. 15. The team also learned that its 200-yard medley relay team has qualified for the state tournament.

The 200 medley relay team of Logan Dean, Tristan Molello, Garret Fitch and Cameron Morand had a season-best time of 1:53.15 at Maize South's meet Feb. 8; they had the fourth-best time at that event. Their third-place time was 1:54.36 this week in El Dorado, but their time the previous week was close enough to the 1:52.91 target qualifying time to get them into the field.

They are Valley Center's first state-qualifying swimmers.

The Class 5-4-3-2-1A state meet will be Feb. 20 through 22 at the Capitol Federal Natatorium in Topeka.

The Hornets had a few other Top 10 finishes at El Dorado. The 200 freestyle relay team was seventh with a combined time of 1:41.76. The team members were Dean, Fitch, Kolton Holmes and Cameron Morand. The 400 freestyle relay team was eighth with a time of 4:26.57. Team members were Molello, Ashton Schuetz, Noah Schrag and John Cain.

Individually, Avery Morand was ninth in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 2:18.10. Avery was also 10th in the 500 freestyle with a time of 6:30.62.
