Eleven Powell Piranha swimmers headed down to Riverton to take part in the Reindeer Dash to kick off December and cap the 2022 schedule.

Aubree Kraft continued to be the leading scorer for the Piranhas, placing first in three of her nine events at the 10-year-old level.

Kraft won the 50 free (35.76), 200 free (2:50.35) and the 500 free (7:42.87). She finished in the top five in all but one of her events.

Just behind Kraft in scoring was Kaitlin Diver, who also earned three first place finishes in her seven events at the 14-year-old level.

She placed first in the 100 free (1:03.06), 50 free (28.89) and the 1,650 free (22:02.31).

The other first-place finisher for Powell was Patricia Christensen, who earned a first-place in the 200 back (2:31.33) while placing in the top three in her other two events.

Overall the Piranhas had 14 winter state championships qualifying times, and have 13 athletes who have qualified for the state meet at the end of February in Laramie.

The Piranhas will continue to practice in the pool, but will not return to competition until they host their annual Winter Fiesta on Jan. 14 and 15 at the Powell Aquatic Center.
