Sublette swim team makes I-80 weekend duet

WYOMING – Hitting the pool for a busy weekend, the Sublette County combined girls’ swim team competed in Rock Springs on Thursday, Oct. 7, followed by the Rawlins Invitational on Oct. 9.
Sublette County placed fifth at Rawlins with 152 points, ahead of Kemmerer and Evanston. Rock Springs did not keep team scores.
“We are mid-season and these young ladies are still dropping time in their individual events,” said coach Kursty Day. “This week, our freshmen came to swim and we had some huge time drops from them. They are working hard in practice and it shows in the meet.”
The Sublette County swim team hosts Kemmerer and Evanston at the Big Piney pool on Thursday, Oct. 14, at 5 p.m. The evening includes senior recognition.
“This group of seniors has been so much fun to coach,” said Day. “They have a lot of talent, they are willing to work hard and share their knowledge with the underclassmen. They are full of potential and I know they will accomplish great things.”
Coach Ambr Seemann highlighted the freshmen over the weekend for their “great efforts and attitudes.”
