WYOMING – The Sublette County combined boys’ swim team showed its strength and endurance in a grueling weekend with three back-to-back meets. Undaunted by the busy schedule, the boys dominated the Big Piney Triangular on Thursday, Jan. 7, beating out Kemmerer and Lyman.

Stepping back on the bus Friday, the team beat Riverton and the host school at the Cody Invitational scoring 406 points to 312 from Riverton and 212 from Cody.

Capping the weekend off on Saturday, the team competed at the Gene Dozah Invitational hosted by Powell. Sublette County took second place with 323 points, behind Powell at 341 points and ahead of Riverton (247 points) and Cody (155).

Big Piney junior J.T. Day qualified the 200-freestyle and 100-butterfly and now has four events to choose from at State.

Hampton Jones, a Big Piney sophomore, won first place in the 1-meter diving event at the Big Piney Triangular, scoring 125.95 points. Day helped Andy DeClue, Dillon Boespflug and Hunter Scott take first in the 400-meter freestyle, timing in at 4 minutes, 23.64 seconds.

Day, John Covill, Boespflug and Scott won the 200-yard freestyle relay at the Cody Invite with a time of 1:42.49.

“It was a long but very productive weekend for our swimmers,” said Coach Kursty Day. “This was a good chance for the boys to spend lots of time together. Coming off Christmas break, it was a good opportunity to see how the guys are doing with their training. We had some great swims and most of the team dropped times throughout the weekend.”
