The Pampa High School swim team welcomed Guymon to the Pampa Youth and Community Center for the annual Green and Gold Meet, where the Lady Harvesters captured the team championship and the Harvesters battled to a narrow 16-point defeat.

Both schools turned in strong performances throughout the morning, with Pampa claiming first place in 10 of the 24 combined boys and girls events.

The Lady Harvesters led the way, winning seven of their 12 events, including five individual races and two relays, to outscore Guymon and claim the girls team title.

Senior Faith Robles got things rolling for Pampa with a first-place finish in the 200-yard freestyle. Junior Madilyn Paul delivered an impressive performance, winning both the 50-yard freestyle and 100-yard butterfly.

Senior Emery Lowenstein also captured a pair of individual victories, taking first place in the 100-yard freestyle and 100-yard backstroke.

Pampa's relay teams added two more victories to the Lady Harvesters' impressive showing.

The 200-yard medley relay team of senior Aria Taylor, sophomore Zayannah Baker, junior Madilyn Paul and senior Emery Lowenstein finished first.

The Lady Harvesters also captured the 400-yard freestyle relay, with Paul, Taylor, senior Faith Robles and Lowenstein combining for another first-place finish.

Those seven event victories helped propel the Lady Harvesters past Guymon in the overall girls team standings.

On the boys side, the Harvesters put together a competitive performance, claiming three first-place finishes in their 12 events.

Sophomore Orion Taylor led the way for Pampa, sweeping his two individual events. Taylor earned first place in the 200-yard individual medley before adding another victory in the 500-yard freestyle.

The Harvesters also found success in the 200-yard freestyle relay, where the team of freshmen Anthony Robles, Joshua Carson and Sirus Ellis, along with sophomore Juaquin Chavez Badillo, raced to a first-place finish.

Despite Pampa's three event victories, Guymon managed to edge the Harvesters by just 16 points in the final boys team standings, making for a closely contested meet.

With the annual Green and Gold Meet behind them, the Pampa swimmers will now turn their attention to their next competition, scheduled for Nov. 12 in Shawnee, Okla.

The meet will take place at Shawnee High School, located at 700 W. Saratoga St., and will feature a familiar face for the Pampa swimming program.

Pampa High School alumnus Nolan Price, a member of the Class of 2016 and the current head swimming coach at Shawnee High School, will serve as the host coach for the upcoming meet.

The trip will give the Harvesters and Lady Harvesters another opportunity to build on their performances while competing at a meet hosted by a former Pampa swimmer.
