LHS swimmers break school records at state

Posted

GILLETTE — “The Lady Eagle swimmers represented our community very well recently finishing 8th in 3A state as a team,” Hal Busskohl said Tuesday morning.

“The girls have worked hard and got to enjoy the facilities in Gillette earning some record times. Speaking of record times, the Lyman High School time in the 200yard medley was broken yet again and set at 2:00:63 – set again by Brooklyn Busskohl, Brynlee Busskohl, Harper Hewitt and Emma Beck.”

The swimmers stroked hard and ended up breaking the schools record twice, “within 5 minutes,” in the 100-meter breaststroke, Busskohl said. Brynlee Busskohl broke the record with a 1:14.30 in the preliminaries just to be broken by Samantha Weston 1:14:10. Weston went on to the finals to earn sixth place with a time of 1:16:78 and Brynlee Busskohl earned ninth place with a 1:14:94.

Weston also earned 11th place with a time of 2:13:95 in the 200 freestyle event.

“The girls (the entire team) had a fantastic time and achieved a lot of goals for the season and ended on a high,” Busskohl said.
