? Free State High’s girls swimming team edged host Manhattan by just three points at a quad meet Wednesday.

The Firebirds tallied 402 points, Manhattan 399.

“It was exciting winning by three points,” FSHS coach Annette McDonald said. “We’re especially excited for our state qualifiers.”

Morgan Flanningan swam qualifying times in the 200- and 500-yard freestyle events and was a member of the Firebirds’ state-qualifying 200 medley relay and 400 freestyle teams.

FSHS’s Kayla Hedges, also a member of the 400 freestyle team, qualified individually in the 500 freestyle.

The Firebirds will compete in the Topeka Invitational on April 3.
