The Chinook Lions and Harlem swim teams are at the midway point of the summer swim season having completed four meets and with Divisionals just four weeks away.

Both teams were in Chester this past weekend while also having a few swimmers traveling east to Plentywood.

Chester is a western division meet which provided the teams a chance to compete against swimmers they don't normally see week to week. Chinook placed third this past weekend despite having less than half their team compete.

Harlem's Andrew Rasmussen won his fourth straight High Point this past weekend in Plentywood while also setting two pool records.

In the 200 Meter Freestyle Andrew broke his own pool record set a year ago, completing the eight lengths of the pool in 2:22.28 to win the event. He also established a new mark in the 100 Meter Backstroke with a time of 1:14.35. Rasmussen won his third event, the 200 Meter Individual Medley with a time of 2:42.71.

Harlem's Lillian Cochran had a fantastic weekend in Chester, winning her first ever Bantam (Eight and Under) Girls High Point. Cochran won all three individual events. Her time of :20.94 was tops in the 25 Meter Freestyle while her effort of :47.30 won the 50 Meter Freestyle and her time of :28.03 was tops in th 25 Meter Butterfly.

Chinook's Katie Tilleman also continued her strong performance in the pool by winning all three individual events in Chester to win the girls 9-10 High Point. Tilleman won the 50 Meter Freestyle (:39.56), the 50 Meter Breaststroke (:49.47) and the 50 Meter Backstroke (:47.07).

Tilleman also joined teammates Alexus Seymour, Kiera Hellman and Mara Edwards to win the 100 Meter Free Relay. Tilleman, Jeni Mord, Hellman and Edwards also won the 100 Meter Medley Relay.

Seymour also won an individual event, winning the 9-10 100 meter freestyle in a time of 1:31.96.

The Chinook Lions 9-10 boys relay teams had plenty of success in Chester this weekend as both established new pool records.

Brockton Elliot, Nathaniel Plainfeather, Kohen Sullivan and Danielle Tilleman combined to win the 100 Meter Free Relay in 1:06.43. The quartet also turned the trick in the Medley Relay capturing the top spot with a time of 1:22.09. Both relays have their sights set on the Federation State Record.
