Two early season meets in Worland and Riverton have brought countless state qualifying marks for the Powell Piranha swim club, with the two meets in mid-November and early December kicking off the winter campaign for the program.
At the Worland Turkey Thrash, the Piranhas were paced by 12-year-old Lynea Christensen, who finished with victories in the 200 free (2:38.79), 50 fly (35.2), 50 free (31.94), 100 back (1:24.79), 100 IM (1:23.15) and the 50 breast (41.74).
She qualified in all six of those events for the state meet in February.
The other lone victory at the first event came from 17-year-old Gabe Rose, who won the 200 fly (2:29.71).
Powell finished with 23 total state qualifying times in the meet, before taking several weeks off to practice before returning to the pool the first weekend of December.
At that meet, the Piranhas swam hard in the Riverton Reindeer Dash to finish the early season competitions.
This time the Piranhas were led by 15-year-old Patricia Christensen, who claimed victories in the 50 free (28.66), 100 back (1:07.54), 200 free (2:14.56), 200 back (2:23.99) and the 500 free (6:24.49).
She earned qualifying times in all five of those events in addition to the 100 free (1:01.99) where she placed third.
Rose was again the other Piranha to earn a first place finish; winning the 200 IM (2:19.23), 100 fly (1:01.83), 100 breast (1:14.37), 200 free (2:10), 200 fly (2:25.75), 200 back (2:25.31) and 500 free (5:53.99).
Overall the Piranhas added 24 more qualifying standard times in the second meet of the season.
Powell will now turn its attention to its own meet, the Winter Fiesta.
That meet will take place on Saturday and Sunday at the Powell Aquatic Center, welcoming teams around the state for two days of competition before the Piranhas head back on the road for the remainder of the season.
