The most complete Glasgow Kiwanis swim team yet mustered enough strength for second place in Plentywood over the weekend. The two-day meet saw 34 Glasgow swimmers compete, the most the team has had so far this season. The results were immediate as Glasgow only fell to Sidney despite the long practices during the week. “They’re really tired right now so we were really happy with how well they swam despite the fact that they were broken down,” said Alex Leuchars, co-head coach. “Right now they’re not at a place in their training where we expect...

It’s a good problem to have. As the timeless baseball adage goes, “You can never have enough pitching.” The Glasgow Reds might be the exception.

It’s been a theme in the early season. Coaches Matt Dangleis and Alex Leuchars, in an effort to increase stamina, push their swimmers hard at practice, expecting them to be too exhausted to perform at their peak in the weekend meets; yet, the swimmers have continued to rise above expectations. This week was no different. “[The meet] went really well, actually kind of shocked me a little. A lot of my swimmers were exhausted and tired,” said Leuchars. “We’ve been pounding them hard.” A team of 3...
