Wolves Swimming and Diving team starts season off in Gillette

The Green River Wolves Boys Swimming and Diving team started their season by traveling to Gillette on Friday to compete in the Gillette Relays. The teams that competed were Campbell County, Cheyenne Central, Cheyenne East, Cheyenne South, Green River, Kelly Walsh, Laramie, Natrona County, Newcastle, Rock Springs, Sheridan and Thunder Basin.

On Saturday the boys competed in the Gillette Pentathlon against many of the same teams from Friday's meet.

Head Coach Colleen Seiloff was very impressed with the results from both of the meets. She feels they really competed well, especially considering they are a very young team. There were several freshman that had great times for their first high school competition.

There were also some boys that weren't able to swim yet. Seiloff explained that Aiden Zimmerman is dealing with a shoulder injury, and she hopes he can get cleared to swim soon.

Still, several Wolves had a strong start to the season. Seiloff was pleased with how strong Colin Gilmore swam, and said he qualified in all five events. All together Green River has already picked up six qualifiers - two divers and four swimmers. She mentioned the divers had a great weekend and are looking really good already this year. Keegan Gailey is diving very strong and freshman Irie Kuball is one of the qualifying divers. Coach Seiloff said it's very impressive for a freshman to qualify at their first meet.

All of the athletes will continue to focus on stroke technique, and the coaches will be encouraging them to keep working hard.

The Green River Wolves will host the Green River Invite on Friday at 4 p.m. and Saturday at 10 a.m.
