THOMASVILLE — Some swimmers from Thomasville High School are headed to Atlanta early next month.

Much of the city school’s swim team will be traveling to compete at Georgia Tech’s aquatic center for the Class 2A state meet on Feb. 3 and 4.

“We wound up with 14 swimmers on the team, seven girls and seven boys, and we are taking 12 of them to state,” Thomasville swimming community coach Jill Tabacci said. “We qualified just about everybody on the team, in relay or individual.”

Jason Stockstill, John West, Braxton Beckham and Preston Page will headline the Bulldog boys represented, and Maggie Davis, Aubrey Baker, Kaitlyn Kasper and Kathleen Geyer will be the girls on the team that will be making the trip.

“Really it’s just all to their hard work in the pool that is proving that they deserve to get this recognition in the first place,” Thomasville swimming head coach Bre Pullara said.

Thomasville will have swimmers racing in three girls relays and two boys relays during the meet — a 200-yard medley, 200-yard freestyle and a 400-yard freestyle.

A few swimmers also made the cut for individual races as well, with Davis swimming the 100-yard butterfly and 500-yard freestyle, and Geyer competing in the 50-yard freestyle and 100-yard backstroke.

Davis is not a stranger to the state meet, as she has qualified for it all four of the years she’s competed on the team. Others, like West, a junior, are swimming at state for the first time.

Geyer is one of a few freshmen on the relay team that will be making the cut for state in their first year on the team.

“I think they’re very excited,” Tabacchi said. “They’ve been working really hard. Our season is a little longer than other season and it falls over the Christmas Break. They’re pulling together as a team and really supporting each other.”
