Sartin, Chambless, Ashley Scarber and Parker finished first in girls’ medley relay at the regional meet in San Antonio last week. With a time of 1:58.10 the quartet qualified as the eighth seed going into the state tournament.
Parker said she and the team are looking forward to another chance at bringing home a state trophy.
“Last year was really exciting,” she said. “We still had a lot to learn. This year for three of us it’s the second time to swim at state. Hopefully, the extra year of experience will help.”

"It is awesome getting to go to state again,"Chambless said. "Especially, since we are going as the first place team in our region."
