The LVHS boys will swim at home for the first time this season as they set their sights on a 24th straight 3A state championship.
Action at today’s Lander Invite starts at 4:00 at the Bruce Gresley Aquatic Center.
One of Lander’s largest squads in recent memory has head coach Shawna Morgan, assistant Tim Hester and dive coach Faith Bennigan excited for the 2019-2020 campaign. “We can’t wait to see what our boys accomplish this season,” Morgan says. “We have one of the biggest teams we’ve had in my tenure and all of the boys can swim all four strokes correctly.
“Most of the team came into season in shape and ready to go. Even though we have spent some time working on technique and drills, we have already started interval training. Usually it takes 2-3 weeks before we start that,” explains Morgan.
Last year’s Tiger squad put together a historic season, even by Lander standards. Impressive national-level times highlighted the state meet, but it was the steadiness of the entire roster that helped bring home a 23rd title.
A deep group of seniors step forward to lead the team this season. “We have a strong group who show amazing leadership in and out of the pool,” according to Morgan. “Preston Plaisted is the returning dive champion, so we look for him to continue working hard in the diving well to defend his title. Ryan Brinda and Nick Kulow — both members of two All American relay teams — are back in the mix and looking to defend their individual titles.
“T Whiting has been swimming all summer and every morning before school to get ready for his senior year. We look for him to turn some heads and have people around the state ask, ‘Where did that kid come from!’ Mason Kinney rounds out the senior group. He has qualified in the breastroke every season but has the goal to qualify in more events this year,” Morgan says.
Results from last weekend’s Rawlins Pentathlon suggest that the Tigers are poised for another strong run. LVHS captured the team title and earned six out of the top ten spots individually. Kulow swam to a first-place finish, joined by teammates Brinda (2nd), freshman Dylan Huelskamp (3rd), Plaisted (7th), Whiting (9th) and frosh Brayden Brown (10th).
The Tigers qualified 11 different swimmers in multiple events for February’s state meet in Laramie. “I was extremely happy with how our boys performed last weekend. Our freshmen really stepped up, and it’s evident that they are going to play a huge role in our team’s success this season,” Morgan says.
She notes that a trio of new divers had strong showings as well. “We have three new divers, one who qualified for state already and the other two had an amazing meet. They completed all six dives successfully, which is hard to do the first time around!”
Saturday, Lander will travel to Sweetwater County to compete against a field of 3A and 4A schools at the Green River Invite.
