GILLETTE— Jeremy Young finished first in three events today during Wyoming’s 4A Boys High School State Championships.

Kelly Walsh claimed the boys’ state title with 253 points, while Rock Springs (200) and Campbell County (192) kept it close for second and third.

Junior Jeremy Young was a key figure in today’s win, finishing first in two individual events and a relay. Young joined with Colin O’Neill, Remington Wagner, and Talon Marquard for a successful 200 medley relay of 1:37.58.

Rock Springs senior Kayden Harbison grabbed his first win of the morning in the 200 free. The senior finished in 1:43.12 ahead of Campbell County’s Noah Beaver (1:44.40).

Laramie senior Connor Petty managed to get ahead and grab a win in the 100 fly with a time of 53.28. Kelly Walsh’s Talon Marquard finished close behind Petty in 53.88, while Baldacci grabbed third with a 54.38.

Evanston senior Ben Wisdorf challenged Young in the 100 free but the junior was able to stave off the senior to grab the gold. Young out-touched Wisdorf (46.63) by .02 seconds, finishing with a time of 46.61 to earn him his third first-place finish of the day.

After winning the 200 free earlier this morning, Harbison crushed the competition in the 500 free. The senior finished with a time of 4:42.00, more than sixteen seconds ahead of the second place finisher.
