GKST Lays It All Out In The Pool

The Glasgow Kiwanis Swim Team had a busy weekend, swimming their hearts out and laying it out all in the pool at the Eastern Divisionals meet in Scobey this past weekend, July 27 and 28. A total of 31 athletes competed vying for a chance to compete at the State Meet this weekend, Saturday, Aug. 2, and Sunday, Aug. 3, in Sidney, of which 25 were successful.

The team came to the Divisional meet with much lower numbers compared to some other east side teams, however they worked hard, swam harder and came out in sixth place. Based on point totals from both the Eastern and Western Divisional meets, the swim team will be placed in class "B" heading into State, competing against Plentywood, Chester, Harlem, Roundup and Fort Benton for the Class B title.

Leading the team with top three finishes was Raelee Dowden (200 IM/ 100 fly- 2nd, 100 breast- 3rd), Trevor Johnson (50 fly- 2nd, 50 free/100 fly- 3rd), Katie Kaiser (50 free/ 100 free/ 100 back- 1st), Abigail Kulczyk (200 free- 3rd), and Dalton Sand (100 free/ 200 free/ 100 fly- 1st). Kaiser, for the sixth meet in a row, and Sand, for the seventh meet in a row, took high point honors in their respectful age groups. The two remain undefeated heading into State, and all eyes will be on them to see if they can take home the bragging rights and titles.

This week's GKST Athlete of the Week, voted on by the coaches, goes to Addison Zoanni (12). Addison competed very strong this weekend in Scobey, where the team saw more fight and fire than ever before from her. As a result of that motivation, Addison was able to set new personal best swims in her 50 breaststroke, 100 freestyle, and 200 freestyle. She just narrowly placed out of the top 12 in her 100 freestyle but still defied expectations and took off 4.26 seconds. Addison was also a part of two Junior Girls' relays that PR'ed and will be advancing on.

Other noteworthy performances came from Damian Cable (15). Damian had a grueling weekend as he competed in the 100 fly for the first time to try and score more team points. He got through with great form and even had a smile on his face at the end. Aubrey Farrar (9) set new personal records in all three of her events with a total time drop of 15.36 seconds. Aubrey also qualified for State in her 50m-backstroke in a very hard age group where she finds herself at the bottom. Last shout out goes to Jack Miller (9) who crushed his personal best times in all his events. Jack swam with great form and intensity. The coaches look forward to seeing how he will improve and help the team in future years.
