    The meet consisted of two days of competition in Pinedale, with Preliminaries on Friday, October 22nd, and the top 12 teams competing again the next day for Finals.

    Coaches Shawna Morgan, Tim Hester, and Faith Hamilton worked hard to prepare the team to do their best and create the most competitive lineup. 

    The athletes themselves had to dig deep and give their best efforts at a Conference Meet, which follows their hardest workouts of the season during “Peak Week”.

    Individual scorers at the meet were: Emily Anderson, Arianna Applegate, Katelyn Brinda, Lainy Duncan, Maddie Flint, Divya Forbis, Lillyan Hamilton, Ashlon Koch, Kelsey Plaisted, Asha Reid, Tenley Reisig, Irene Remoli-Candel, Lara Robertson, Carly Schultz, and Sophie Shearin. 

    Lander’s relays also performed well, with the 200 yard medley relay and the 200 yard freestyle relay placing first, and the 400 yard freestyle relay placing second.

    Arianna Applegate qualified for state in the 100 yard backstroke, and she will now be eligible to wear the green parka, which brings the number of state qualifiers to 14.

    Coach Morgan had this to say about the meet, “I was really happy with how the girls swam this weekend against a large group of girls who were tech suited up and a little rested. Especially coming off our hardest week.”

    “It was cool to see girls swim personal best times and to add a new state qualifier to our mix! I was hoping we could win two of the relays this weekend and the girls swam their guts out to make that happen! Our divers really stepped up and dove beautifully. I’m really excited to see how the girls perform in a couple of weeks at state.”

    The State Championships, which will have the same two day meet structure, will be held in Gillette on November 4th and 5th.
