Piranhas compete in Snowball Crawl

Posted

Powell Swim Club returned to action on Sunday, competing in the Worland Snowball Crawl. Half of the teams in this event swam on Saturday, while the others swam Sunday.

The Piranhas finished the competition in fifth place as a team, with 526 points. The team’s top scorers were Ru Parker, Nate Johnston, Kaitlin Diver and Karee Cooley.

Diver was named the outstanding swimmer of the meet for her performances in the 11-12 girls group. She cut significant time in four events, including the 200 free (22.26 seconds) and the 200 individual medley (43.88 seconds).

Cooley was another who saw several times drop, as she improved in five events in the 11-12 girls division.

Johnston won all four events that he competed in, while Parker finished second in three and first in two.

As a result of COVID-19, training in the summer was difficult to manage. Head coach Jerry Rodriguez has been impressed with the Piranhas’ effort amid these circumstances.

“The team is doing pretty well considering the difficulties that we had with training this past summer,” Rodriguez said. “The kids who have been making it to practice are the ones improving the most with their times. If we can keep practicing in the time of COVID and keep everyone healthy, the kids will keep improving.”
