The Lady Wolves swim team traveled to Gillette for a pentathlon and relays and came back with a third-place finish and eight already qualified for state.
Head coach Colleen Seiloff said the Green River High School Lady Wolves swam really well this weekend against a lot of competitive teams.
“They went down there and were hitting times where we thought they would be,” Seiloff said.
The team traveled to Gillette instead of Rawlins because they already know what the competition around here looks like and wanted to see what to expect from the other side of the state. The Lady Wolves came in third after Laramie High School and Cheyenne Central High School.
“We wanted to go up there and see them right away,” Seiloff said. “See how they are performing and how (we) hold up against them.”
The team did well and eight already qualified for state in one of more than one event including, Ashley Jensen, Lauren Jensen, Sydni Sanders, Kaycee Olsen, Madi Young, Lillian Munoz, Alexa Lauze and Hailey Uhrig.
“We had some freshmen with great performances,” she said.
One of the freshmen who stood out was Hailey Uhrig, who not only qualified for state already, but broke the school record in the 100-yard breaststroke.
This week, the Lady Wolves will continue working on their techniques to get ready for the home meet, which is scheduled to take place at the Green River Aquatics Center at 4 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. Saturday.
Seiloff said the team is looking forward to the home meet and she’s hoping more of the team will qualify for state.
“It’s always nice to swim at home,” Seiloff said. “The girls always swim better at home.”
