"Super proud of all of our swimmers," said Siloam Springs swim coach Stephanie Goddard. "Everyone put the team first and some swam some events that they weren't excited about but did it because it would score points for the team. We had a lot of personal bests and a couple of heartbreak swims."
Boys
Siloam Springs senior Brittan Butler, who will swim at Oklahoma Christian next year, had individual wins in the 200 individual medley and the 100 backstroke, then played a part in the Panthers winning two relays. Lee Thompson also gave Siloam Springs two individual victories in the 200 freestyle and the 100 butterfly.
"Our boys have worked really, really hard this year," Goddard said. "It's a good group of boys. We're graduating four seniors, but we will be strong again next season because we've worked so hard.
"Brittan has such a great work ethic, and he's such a workhorse. It's been what he's wanted to do since he was itty bitty."

"Landon Cottrell missed the state cutoff time in the 200 IM by two hundredths of a second," Goddard said. "His positive attitude amazes me along with his work ethic. He just smiled and said that he would get it next year."

"Damien Martin and Gage Weaver really stepped up and completed the 11 dives with only eight total practices," Goddard said. "Watch out next year because they are going to be great."
