The Summit High School swim and dive team finished in third place out of four schools at Friday’s Glenwood Springs High School Invitational meet at the Glenwood Community Center.
Tigers swimmer Ashley Leidel won the 500-yard freestyle with the fastest time of seven swimmers at 6:04.87. Tigers head coach Jenny Wischmeyer said the freshman’s time, which shaved off six seconds from last weekend, has her in great contention for the 3A state meet slated for March 13 in Thornton.
Wischmeyer also highlighted senior Taylor Lee for her consistency in the 50-yard and 100-yard freestyle as she hopes to be in the top 20 for the 3A state meet. On Friday, Lee registered a seventh-place time of 28.90 in the 50 freestyle in a 29-swimmer race. In the 100 freestyle, Lee raced to 12th place in the 25-swimmer race with a time of 1:03.92, just ahead of Tiger teammate Karlyn Frazier in 13th place (1:04.91).
