LANDER – The Sublette County girls’ swim team kicked off the 2022 fall season at the Bruce Gresly Pentathlon in Lander on Aug. 27.
Sublette County faced tough competition from schools across the region with more than a hundred athletes entering each event. A pentathlon tests the limits of a swimmer’s endurance with each athlete competing in five individual events – the 100 butterfly, 100 backstroke, 50 freestyle, 100 breaststroke and 100 freestyle.
The meet also featured diving. Pinedale High School senior Rhonda Auradou punched her ticket to State in the event, capturing fourth place with 275.30 points following 11 dives. Fellow PHS senior Morgan Grossman earned the Sportsmanship Award.
Co-Head Coach Kursty Day noted improvement in times by returning upperclassman and strong performances from incoming freshmen.
“It was good to see our upperclassmen compete again, most finishing as fast, if not faster, than last year’s fastest times,” she said. “We have 14 new freshmen this year that we are very excited to have on the team. Competing in all five individual events can be a little overwhelming for a freshman’s first meet. They did very well and I am excited to see what their season has in store for them.”
Sublette County’s upbeat attitude spread to other teams, said Co-Head Coach Ambr Seemann.
“The enthusiasm of our ladies encouraged other teams to enjoy interacting with opponents,” she added. “At one point, the Powell team joined the Sublette team in the Macarena while waiting for the meet to start. A positive, enthusiastic attitude prevailed throughout the competition. I am very proud of the effort put forward by all of our athletes and am anticipating great success this season.”
