SWEETWATER COUNTY — Green River and Rock Springs will be back in the pool this week with postseason tune-ups scheduled ahead of the Class 4A state swimming and diving championships.
Rock Springs is set to host a tri-meet against Evanston and Lyman on Tuesday at 4 p.m., giving the Tigers one more head-to-head competition before the final qualifying opportunity. Both Green River and Rock Springs will then compete in the Last Chance meet in Green River Thursday again at 4 p.m., which serves as the final chance for swimmers and divers to post qualifying times for state.
Both teams enter the week coming off strong performances at the Class 4A West Conference Championships in Casper. Green River finished third in the team standings with 210 points, while Rock Springs placed fifth with 156 points.
