Kemmerer finished fifth out of six teams at the Southwest Invite in Lyman Saturday.

“Our guys gave good efforts, and most saw improved times,” said Greg Gray.

“We had a lot of drops in time.”

The team now has six boys qualified for state. Several others are “moving closer to the standards every week,” Gray said.

The Kemmerer High School boys swim team heads to Big Piney today and will be back in Pinedale on Saturday this week.
