Piranhas compete during summer season

Posted

Summer swimming gave opportunities for young Powell Piranha athletes to get in the pool and improve, competing at the Gillette Long Course Summer Spectacular and the Buffalo Kate Holt Memorial in June.

In Gillette, Powell had six competitors, with the lone victory for the Piranhas coming from 12-year-old Carter Kruger in the 200 breaststroke with a 4:24.81.

Another top three finish came from 14-year-old Tyler Kruger, who took second in the 100 fly with a 1:29.5.

Powell had several top three finishes, as Carter Kruger also finished third in the 800 free (15:26.93), Tyler Kruger finished third in the 50 free (31.51) and 10-year-old Mary Rose took third in the 50 free (44.3).

Overall, Powell had 22 top eight finishes at the event.

Heading to Buffalo, the Piranhas had seven competitors, and once again claimed one first place finish.

That victory came from 10-year-old Aubree Morton, who won the 50 fly in 52.14.

She had a strong day, placing top five in all five of her events, including a second place finish in the 50 free (42.42), third place finishes in the 100 free (1:39.77) and the 50 breast (57.38) and a fifth place finish in the 50 back (55.19).

Despite not winning an event, Tyler Kruger had a similar day as he finished top four in all four events; taking second in the 200 IM (3:10.52), third in the 100 back (1:37.94) and 50 free (33.02) and fourth in the 100 breast (1:41.48).

Carter Kruger also had a strong day, taking second in the 200 IM (3:58.72), third in the 50 breast (56.15), fourth in the 50 back (47.69) and 50 fly (42.97) and sixth in the 50 free (38.13).

Rose also posted a trio of third place finishes in the 200 free (4:08.7), 50 fly (1:05.56) and 50 free (45.68).

Wrapping up the summer the Piranhas had one athlete attend the Summer State Long Course meet on July 19-21 in Fort Collins, Colorado, before breaking for the fall in preparation for the winter season.
