Hurricanes looking for 8th straight championship
The Fort Scott Hurricanes, the local swim team, won their eighth straight Southeast Kansas Swimming League regular-season season championship when it defeated Erie at the Fort Scott city pool July 16.
Saturday, the Hurricanes -- who have not lost a single meet in these past eight years -- will attempts to win their eighth straight championship meet when they travel to Coffeyville for the SEKSL championship meet.
There will be a send-off breakfast this morning at 7 a.m. as a way for parents and other swimming fans to wish the kids good luck at the meet.
The Hurricanes are made up of over 70 boys and girls from as young as five years old all the way up to 18. Because there isn't a swim team at the high school, this is perhaps the only chance these athletes get to participate in this sport.
The swimmers also practice at the city pool and have to be there at 7 a.m. each morning there's a practice as that is the only time it's available before it opens for the public. Early in the morning, the pool can be very cold and sometimes, the chlorine is cloudy because the water has been still all night.
The Hurricanes will have their team banquet at 6 p.m. Wednesday night at Buck Run Community Center. Trophies won at the SEK Swim Meet will be handed out at the banquet.
