Rebekah Olson made debut as a varsity Lady Dogie Friday in Buffalo.
According Coach Scribner, competed And raced well.
First meet,
state qualifiers
Sonja Karp
NLJ Sports Reporter
There may be a sense of
urgency in unprecedented
2020 fall sports season, and
the seniors on the Lady Dogie
team have established
that they are ready to finish
their final season strong.
Hannah Gross swam her
way to state qualification in
two events while Becca Henkle
wasted no time hitting the state
qualifying mark in diving in
the Lady Dogies’ debut meet of
the year in Buffalo last Friday.
“Becca has been diving
really well in practice and we
were hoping she would qualify
in her first meet, and she didn’t
disappoint,” head coach Doug
Scribner smiled. “I went over
and took a sneak peak at the
scores and I saw that she had
133 points so I was bummed
that she missed the mark.
However, when I got home
and saw her final score of 155,
Irrealized that; when I saw her
mark at the meet that was only
for five dives.”
Last season, Henkle quali-
fied for the state meet in the
11th hour competing in an
11 dive format at the confer-
ence meet, so in addition to
clenching her spot right out of
the gate, she also set a personal
best score in a six dive format.
Gross is the reigning state
champion in the 200 Free,
holding pool and conference
records in the race, so she
is no stranger to success. On
Friday, she added the 200 IM
and the 500 Free to her state
slate finishing well under the
4A qualifying time.
The 500 Free is a long and
grueling race which involves
swimming 20 laps in a 25
yard pool, however the finish
was a nail biter as Gross just
out-touched'the current state
champion in the 500 by .18
seconds.

“One of the things we
worked on in that race was
the walls. She was seeded 16
seconds slower than Ashlon
[Koch of Lander], but that
means she only had to make
up 16 seconds over 20 lengths
and that was totally doable for
Hannah,” Scribner began. “I
told her that if she was going
to beat her it was going to be
on the walls, just stay withvher
and that’s exactly what she did.
Ashlon only beat her on one
wall in the whole race.”
Scribner knew that if Gross
was able to be in the race, that
she’s competitive enough to
find a little extra to make it a
race at the end, and she proved
him right. It is Gross’ goal to
swim the 200 Free in the state
meet and not only take the
title, but also set a new record,
so Scribner and she have deter-
mined to work the 500 a few
times throughout the season,
making the 200 a piece of cake
in the long run.
In the 200 IM, Gross is
strong in every stroke but
Scribner admits that the breast-
stroke is her weakest. That
leg gave her competitors the
opportunity to cut her lead,
however she made up for lost
time in the final freestyle leg of
the race. She ended up second
behind Buffalo swimmer,
however she cut her time by

Though sophomore
Raeleigh Shipp didn’t punch
her state ticket, she started off
the season strong in the 100
Breaststroke, taking off right
where she left off at the end of '
the 2019 season.
“Raeleigh swam well and
she is wanting to qualify in the
breaststroke or at least drop
some. time,” Scribner began.
“It took? her a length to get into
the="'rac’e," but there was avgirl
next to her who was matching
her stroke for stroke, and once
she got warmed up she really
started racing.”
The freshmen are also
showing promise in their debut
in varsity swimming. Though
Brooklyn Schmidt disquali-
fied in the 50 Free due to a
slight movement on the start,
Scribner felt she swam well
in her first meet, and that
Rebekah Olson also performed
well in her races.
Early in the season,
Scribner likes to mix things up
regarding the relay lineups in
order to give his swimmers the
opportunity to try everything
out and see what the best com-
binations are for each race.
This week the team has
a long road trip to Cody on
Thursday where they will
compete in a triangular with
Worland and Riverton.
