Smith-Cotton girls swimming coach Jerry Tankersley identified a core of eight swimmers who must carry the team this season, while younger and inexperienced swimmers learn the ropes.
Seven of those eight swimmers played key roles on Tuesday at Sedalia Middle School, helping the Lady Tigers go 2-2 in the quadruple-dual meet.
