(Laramie, WY) – Last weekend the LVHS Swim and Dive Team traveled to Laramie to attend the largest swim meet of the season.
Eighteen teams and well over 300 athletes were involved over two days, including many 4A schools Lander doesn’t compete against at any other meet in the season.
The Friday meet was not scored because diving was spread across both days, but when the Saturday scores were tallied, Lander stacked up as the top 3A squad, placing 6th overall, just ahead of rival Green River.
The Tigers were led by several swimmers who had personal and/or season-best times leading to top ten finishes.
Senior Lainy Duncan had a season-best time good for a second place finish in the 100 Yard Breaststroke to go with a 4th place finish in the 200 Yard IM on Friday. She followed that up with a 5th place in the Breaststroke and personal season-best time 7th place finish in the Butterfly on Saturday.
Freshman Katy Anderson had personal-best times in the 100 Yard Backstroke and the100 Yard Butterfly that earned her two first places on Friday. She followed that up on Saturday with a personal-best time 4th place finish in the 200 Yard IM and a 6th place finish in the 100 Yard Butterfly.
Freshman Daegan Reinhardt swam a personal best 200 Yard Freestyle good for 6th place and placed 4th in the 500 Yard Freestyle on Friday, with a 7th place finish in the 100 Yard Freestyle Saturday.
Sophomore Lara Robertson collected a 4th place in the 100 Yard Freestyle Friday to go along with three 5th places (50 Yard Freestyle on Friday, 500 Yard Freestyle and 200 Yard Freestyle on Saturday).
Junior Josey Johnson swam to an 8th place finish in the 100 Yard Freestyle on Friday and a 9th place finish in the 50 Yard Freestyle Saturday.
Senior Divya Forbis turned in Lander’s top diving performance. Forbis tied for 16th place amongst the divers with Olive Roberts from Green River. Only one 3A diver scored more points, Zella Maez also from Green River.
Lander’s performance seems to indicate they will be quite competitive at the state meet in three weeks at that same pool.
Head Coach Eric DeClue said, ”We had a few kids qualify in more events which is going to help a lot. They swam extremely well the second day for not getting much sleep and it being this late in the season. This was a good reminder to them for what State will be like with the late night the first day and early morning that second day.”
3A teams from Powell, Buffalo, and Cody did not attend this meet and they will bring strong teams to the state meet as well. It will be a very exciting time at the pool in Laramie November 3rd and 4th.
Conference competition concludes this Friday and Saturday in Rawlins. The Tigers will celebrate Senior Night at the Last Chance Meet October 27th in Lander.
