Regular Season Comes to an End for Swimmers

Bringing their regular season to a close, the Glasgow Kiwanis Swim Team competed at the Sidney Invitational July 16 and 17. The Thunder earned a respectable fourth place with a small number of swimmers participating. The Sidney Tiger Sharks, with their full roster, placed first with more than 1,200 points – three times more than Glasgow's 428.5 points.

Damian Cable, an intermediate swimmer for the Thunder, had an impressive weekend. Cable placed in the top six of each of his events and cut more than 10 seconds off in each of his three events.

Kimber Dulaney showed great improvement in her 50m freestyle also, cutting nearly eight seconds on her way to a seventh-place finish.

First-year swimmer for the Thunder, Shaylynn Pedersen, achieved a milestone on Saturday when she qualified for finals in the 50m backstroke and placed 11th, contributing to the team's score.

Senior swimmer Katie Kaiser could not have done any better, placing first in all three of her events and earning high point honors in her age group.

The Eastern Divisional swim meet will be held this weekend, July 23 and 24.
