Spook Splash Excitement! 2010 Top 5 Achievements
Each year, Wyoming Swimming, Inc. lists the
Top5 fastest times in each event offered in
each age group and gender. These Top5
recipients will be honored as the fastest
swimmers at the Top5 Banquet in Casper
November 6th.
Wow! We broke some
attendance records this
year. We had the most
Lander swimmers attend
the 27th Annual Spook
Splash than any other in
the history of Lander Swim
Club. We had 69 swimmer
entered this year, and our
previous record was from 2
years ago with 66
swimmers. The meet went
extremely well with an
excellent base of volunteers
to make things run
smoothly!
To everyone who helped
with concessions, awards,
announcing, t-shirts,
timing, officiating, and
clerking! Thank you to all
of our sponsors for your
generous support! Thank
you especially to the club
members who spent so
much time organizing
volunteers and
sponsorship, inviting teams
and officials, and spent
countless hours emailing,
calling, and meeting. This
meet was a huge success
and wonderful way to kick
off the winter season!
Attendance records—34 of
our swimmers participated
in their first or second swim

LVHS Lady Swimmers Break 2 School Records ...Spook Splash continued:
meet ever.
-44 swimmers participated in the
mock meet (previously 32)
-38 swimmers practiced the
Wednesday night before the meet
(previously 36)
-41 swimmers improved times
which accounts for 42% of all
Lander swims
-There were only 18 total
disqualifications which accounts for
only 6% of all Lander swims.
-We had 44 new Winter State
qualifying times from 18
swimmers.
The best part is that many of our
swimmers enjoyed the meet and
competing so much, we have 20
swimmers going to Laramie and 11
swimmers going to Jackson in
November. Keep up the great
work, everyone!
It takes a lot of guts to be
an LVHS swimmer, believe me
I know. It takes courage to
say, “No,” to friends when
they want to hang out
because you have morning
practice. It takes strength
of character and
determination
to attend
every morning
practice and
still be able
to get your
homework
done. It
takes
everything you’ve got to do
come to practice early for
dry land training and even
more for an 11,000 yard
practice, and not fall asleep
in class the next day. But
most of all, it takes self-
confidence and pride to do all
of this and take 2nd place.
The LVHS Lady Tiger Swim
Team came through the 3A
State Championships with two
new school records, personal
best times, and exhibited the
values of good sportsmanship
as they supported swimmers
from other teams. This season
was different than others
because the entire team felt
stronger, faster, and kept
Jackson
working
harder, too.
In a meet in
which Jackson
potentially
could have
won by 100
points, Lander
was able to capture 49 of
those points.
Most of all, Lander lady
swimmers are most proud of
how hard they worked—all of
them, not just the special few.
This year they were truly the
LVHS Swim TEAM! When you
see these swimmers be sure to
ask how they did and I’m
pretty sure you’ll first see a
satisfactory smile.
