The Campus Colts faced a large, tough field in their first swim event of the new year. The Colts took eighth out of 12 teams at the Wichita North Invitational, held last Friday and Saturday. Campus had no divers in the Friday diving event, competing solely in Saturday’s swim events.

With so many teams, the competition was tough. The Colts scored 120 points, finishing 10 points behind seventh-place Wichita Southeast and 8 points in front of Wichita Northwest. Kapaun-Mt. Carmel and Derby led the pack, with Kapaun beating the Panthers 408-383. No other team topped 300 points.

The Colts were shorthanded at North, as two swimmers were out with illness. They expect to be back to full strength before their next action. Campus was off this week. The Colts will be in their own pool on Tuesday for Derby’s home tournament. The Panthers use the Glenn Crum Natatorium at CHS as their home pool.

Campus will host an invitational next week Thursday, with Circle, Derby, Emporia, Independent and Winfield.
