Tanith Smith works on her backstroke during a swim team practice at Green River High School. Smith, a freshman, has been one of the highest scoring swimmers this season.
The Green River High School swim team has had an impressive season so far, and they're "tuning up" to face the last three weeks.
The Lady Wolves brought home another win last weekend when they faced six other teams in Rawlins on Saturday, beating the home team by 132 points. Coach Coleen Seiloff said it was a change of pace to only compete one day after five days of practice, but the girls swam well.
"We're starting to get towards the end of the season, they're tired, but they are working, so I'm pretty happy with where we're at right now," Seiloff said.
Currently 12 girls on the team have qualified for state, and several have qualified in multiple events, according to Seiloff.
Next weekend the team will head to Gillette, where they will have the chance to swim in the state pool and compete against both 3A and 4A schools.
"It's definitely competitive across the board cause you're going to have some of the best athletes up there swimming this weekend, so that'll be nice," Seiloff said. "It'll push everybody, I think. And as a whole it's always a fun meet in Gillette. There's always great times, not just out of our team but out of everybody, and so that's good, cause people go there and they swim hard."
Looking forward to state in three weeks, Seiloff said the team will continue to work hard and prepare.
"We'll definitely be trying to tune up," Seiloff said, "making sure that they're crisp -working turns, starts, swim technique, their technique just in general. Just try to get better in small details ... Details matter. And so those are the things that we're just going to continue to work hard on."
