The Lady Red Swim team traveled to Hays for the final meet of the season, The Western Athletic Conference Championship.

“The meet did not disappoint when it came to competition and setting new personal best records,” Liberal coach Ismael Carrillo said.

Freshman Jyzelle Juarez lead the team in points with a fourth place finish in the 100 Butterfly, mere seconds from third place, 11th in the Individual Medley, seventh in the 200 Medley Relay, and fifth in the 400 Freestyle Relay.

The Lady Redskins finished fourth with 259 points, beating out Dodge City, who finished fifth.

Dodge City may have had the Liberal Redskins on the ropes Tuesday, but they couldn’t deliver the knockout blow, and a late rally sparked by Landon Martinez and Alex Schwindt led to a standing eight count before the knockout blow hit the dazed Demons in extra innings.

Dodge City trickled runs across the plate throughout the game, including one in the first, two in the second, one in the third, two in the fifth and another in the sixth to take a 7-0 lead.
