Sterling College announced in April of 2018 they intended on adding Men’s and Women’s Swimming to their athletic offerings.  The program will begin in the 2019-2020 academic year.  Fast forward to April of 2019 and one of Hays High’s own made it official that he will be part of that inaugural season at Sterling.

Scout Perryman

 

Scout Perryman signed his letter of intent to swim for the Warriors.  Perryman started to competitively swim his freshman year of high school after his older brother who was a senior at a time introduced him the sport.  He swam the 100 yard freestyle, 100 yard butterfly, and 50 yard freestyle in high school.

Coach Faith Schindler

 

Second year head coach Faith Schindler, who is also an assistant coach for the girls swim team, has seen the numbers of the swim team swell recently and hopes that Perryman’s success and signing will increase the popularity of the sport within the school.

The Sterling College program will be helmed by Gary Kempf who, according to a press release from Sterling College, “After high school, Kempf competed and swam for Kansas University. During his four years at KU, he won seven individual Big Eight titles while leading the Jayhawks to three conference crowns.”
