GREEN RIVER — The Rock Springs Invitational, originally set for Rock Springs High School, was relocated to Green River High School due to a issue with the swim scoreboard. The change of venue did little to disrupt the Sweetwater County schools’ momentum, as the Wolves dominated the meet with a commanding performance, finishing first overall with 351 points, while Rock Springs High School placed third with 188 points. The two teams combined for 30 top-five finishes across the competition.

Green River claimed 21 top-five finishes, showcasing depth and versatility, while Rock Springs added nine top-five finishes to their tally.
