“With the seven athletes that went to Kemmerer, we saw a lot of great efforts,” the coaches wrote. “Scotty Ring was able to take time off in the 200-freestyle and Andy DeClue dropped a little time in the 50-freestyle. This meet was very fast with only one heat in each event, not leaving much break in between for rest. We are looking forward to a healthy team and traveling to Cody and Powell this weekend.”
