Off to State We Go!

By Abigail Medved

After winning the Hornet Invitational and becoming the 2024 SCL Champions, the only way for Pueblo County High School girls to end the Girls Swim and Dive season is by competing in the 3A State Meet.

“I feel like I have come a very long way this season,” said freshman diver, Lily Nibert. “I am so so excited for this meet and just the whole weekend overall! Of course I am still super nervous but I feel that way before most meets.”

The girls who qualified for this meet include Lily Knudsen, Lana Kastner, Amanda Alfonso, Morgan Musso, Leah Conrad, Breckin Weatherford, Kennedy Raymond, and Tate Lanham. 

Lily Nibert, Maci Johnson, and Avery Mead also qualified in diving. Rowan Moran, Jade Moore, Alexa Darnell, Jaelyn Faris, and Abigail Medved are going as alternates. 

“I feel really nervous but also happy because it's a great experience,” said Morgan Musso,  junior swimmer. 

The 3A State Meet will take place Feb. 9-10, 2024 at the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center in Denver. The girls will leave on Thursday, Feb. 8.

Good Luck Hornets!
