The Powell Piranhas continued their winter season, competing in a pair of meets through the holiday season, competing in the Worland Turkey Thrash on Nov. 16-17 and the Riverton Reindeer Dash on Dec. 7-8.

At the Turkey Thrash, the Piranhas had one athlete claim victory, as 14-year-old Tyler Kruger won the 100 fly in 1 minute, 5.86 seconds, the 400 IM (5:54.56) and the 200 fly (2:39.6).

He finished in the top three in all but one of his events, and earned winter state qualifying times in three events.

Powell had several athletes earn second place finishes, including 12-year-old Carter Kruger in the 100 back (1:28.09), 100 IM (1:24.36), 100 free (1:14.67) and the 50 breaststroke (43.82); 12-year-old Jake Williams in the 50 fly (35.31), 100 breast (1:34.84) and the 500 free (7:19.05); 13-year-old Lynea Christensen in the 200 IM (3:04.24) and 14-year-old Sam Williams in the 100 back (1:19.78).

Overall the Piranhas had 14 winter state qualifying marks between five athletes, out of the 11 swimmers who attended the meet.

In December, the Piranhas made the trip down to Riverton for the Reindeer Dash, with a smaller group representing Powell in the meet.

The lone victory for Powell came from 10-year-old Mary Rose, who won the 200 free in 3:01.25.

She was the only swimmer to earn a qualifying time, earning five marks and not placing below sixth in her 10 events.
