All 19 of the Lady Panther swimmers scored to amass a team total of 184 points Friday to take first place over Worland (168) and Newcastle (43).

The team was led by JuliaKay O’Neill, Rylie Kannard, Katina Twitchell, Aspen Aguirre and Elizabeth Ligett.

O’Neill finished first with personal bests/state qualifying scores in both diving, with a score of 167.65, and in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:20.23.

Kannard placed first in the 100 backstroke with a time of 1:09.89 and second in the 200 IM with 2:43.48 — both events were state-qualifying times. Head swim coach Bob Smartt also pointed out that Kannard “led off our 200 medley relay in a sizzling 31.59.” The team finished second with a time of 2:12.20.

Twitchell swam a personal best in the 50 freestyle to take second place in 27.72. The junior also posted a state-qualifying time in the 500 freestyle in 6:35.27 for third place finish.

As for the 500 freestyle, Smartt said that Ligett, swimming in this race for the first time, “rocked the pool” with a second place swim of 6:27.19, well under the state time of 6:41.00.

Smartt noted that last year, in a quad meet, Powell placed second to Worland. This year, 22 personal bests were recorded and six athletes achieved nine state-qualifying times.
