BIG PINEY – Setting the momentum for a successful Homecoming weekend at Big Piney High School, the Sublette County combined girls’ swim team pummeled Lyman, 85-75, at its first home meet of the season in the BPHS pool on Thursday, Sept. 14.

Filling their bag with plenty of top-three medals at the Lyman Duel, athletes on the swim team also continued to chip away at their times in individual events and relays over the weekend.

The action at Big Piney opened with sophomore Aurora Rees snagging first place in the 200-freestyle, timing the event in at 3 minutes, 0.39 seconds.

Junior KaLee Bohnet garnered gold in the 100-butterfly, reaching the finish line in 1:33.31.

Less than 24 hours after defeating Lyman, the girls’ swim team boarded the bus for the two-day Adam Denton Memorial Invitational hosted by Jackson Hole High School on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 15-16. Friday featured preliminaries in each event with finals on Saturday.

“The team competed in three days of hard swimming over the weekend,” said Co-Head Coach Kursty Day. “On Friday, in Jackson, we competed against two of the top 4A swim teams and last year’s 3A State Champion (Lander). We had several swimmers make it into the top 12 to swim in the finals on Saturday.”
