This past weekend, the Green River High School Lady Wolves swimming team set its sights on the Rock Springs meet.
Prior to the meet, head coach Colleen Seiloff found out some of her swimmers would go over their 18-meet allotment if they swam the rest of the meets, so only 10 Lady Wolves entered the pool this weekend.
Seiloff said they were scheduled to swim 19 meets, and she was glad they discovered the issue now before this weekend’s competition or conference. She said the last thing she would want to do it sit great swimmers at conference or last chance.
This didn’t stop the rest of the Lady Wolves from improving their times and remaining competitive.
Alexa Lauze qualified for state in the 200 IM, and this isn’t the first even she’s qualified for state in.
“I think we had several improvements,” Seiloff said.
Other swimmers who stood out to Seiloff this weekend were Jarin Mandros, who swam well, Bailee Clark who shaved 3 seconds off of one of her swims, and Avery Otto, who broke a Rock Springs pool record in the 100 butterfly.
This weekend, the team will travel to Campbell County to compete on Friday and Saturday.
“We’re not working on anything special,” Seiloff said.
At this point in the season, the Lady Wolves will continue to work on their techniques to try and decrease their times.
Conference
This past week, the Lady Wolves received official news that conference will be hosted in Green River, Oct. 20-21.
Seiloff said the meet was going to be hosted in Evanston, but their pool isn’t working. She said they do have a back up pool, but it isn’t set up for computer timing, which can be troublesome and confusing to parents.
“I feel bad for them because they were looking forward to hosting it,” Seiloff said.
However, she’s excited her girls will have the chance to swim conference at home.
“It’s always nice to swim at our own pool, especially when it’s a big meet,” she said.
