WYOMING – The Sublette County combined boys’ swim team stepped up to the challenge through another busy weekend featuring back-to-back meets.

On Friday, Jan. 13, the team competed at the Lyman Invitational followed by the Kemmerer Quad on Saturday.

Senior Owen Nielson is chipping away at his 100-breaststroke, chasing the Adam Denton Award. Owen, Dillon and junior Andy DeClue are all one event away from earning the award.”

Boespflug bagged gold in the 200-individual medley at Lyman, posting a new personal record of 2 minutes, 20.84 seconds. He beat the second-place finish from Lyman by nearly 3 seconds.
