DCHS Girls Swim Team Finishing Season Strong
The Douglas County High School Girls Swim Team had a great season this year.
The C, B, and A league qualifiers all placed well within their division.
Several of the DCHS Girls Swim Team participated in the A-League Continental League Championships. The qualifiers competed Friday, Feb 9 th and Saturday, Feb. 10 th with a 9 th overall finish for the Continental League Championships. The DCHS 200 yard Medley Relay came in 12 th; individual swimmers,
Schanuel & Hill placed in the top 16 of the 200 yard Freestyle;Zamprelli placed in the top 16 for the 50 yard freestyle & third overall for the 100 yard freestyle (55.10); Schanuel placed 2 nd overall for her 500 yard freestyle (5:22.60),

A little excitement erupted Friday evening after a disqualifying call was made against one of the DCHS swimmers for illegal attire. The call stopped the meet for at least 20 minutes while a closed door session was held between the referees and the high school coaches in attendance to make a ruling on the DQ. A unanimous vote to overturn the DQ in favor of the swimmer set the meet back into action. The call and subsequent discussion may lead to a future amendment to NHFS Swimming and Diving rules to further clarify the current wording of the rule(s) regarding attire and notification of participating coaches and swimmers.
Seven DCHS swimmers will be going on to the High School State Meet held in Fort Collins on Feb 14, 15 & 16, 2007. Swimmers are allowed to swim in two individual events plus 2 relays each.
