Fuller
a state
qualifier
for Powell
Panthers
BY SAM SMRH
Two brothers from
Cowley, Jared and Seth
Fuller, are participating
on the Powell High School
boys swimming team this
season and found success
at their first meet of the
season against Lander Fri-
day at home.
Seth Fuller, a junior
from Rocky Mountain High
School, qualified for the 3A
State Swimming and Div-
ing Meet by placing sec-
ond in the 50-yard freestyle
swimming with a time of
24.67. Fuller also qualified
for state in the 100-yard
backstroke by placing sec-
ond with a time of 1:03.62.
Fuller also was a part of
the 200-yard medley relay
that placed second with a
time of 1:56.23.
"This is exception-
al for the beginning of the
season," Powell coach Jer-
ry Rodriguez said. "This
would be mostly credited to
him swimming year round
with his USA swim team in
Lovell."
Jared Fuller, a fresh-
man at Rocky, placed
eighth in the 100-yard free-
style, swimming in with a
time of 1:07.67. Fuller also
placed seventh in the 100-
yard backstroke with a
time of 1:15.98. Jared Full-
er was the leadoff in the
200-yard freestyle relay
and swam in with a time
of 31.16. The team placed
sixth with a team time of
2:08.64.
"One of our team goals
is to get all members qual-
ified in as many different
events as possible, giving
us more options when we
get down to State at the
end of the season," Rodri-
guez said.
Next up for the Full-
ers and the Powell swim-
ming team is a quad meet
in Cody Friday and a dual
meet in Lander Saturday.

Mike Kitchen rolled the
fifth 300 game of his career
Thursday in the third game
of the Sandbaggers League
at the Rose City Lanes in
Lovell.
Kitchen rolled a 235
first game, a 259 second
and a 300 third for a 794 se-
ries, just six pins away for
his third career 800 series.
The ball Kitchen used
to roll his 300 games was a
Roto Grip Sinister.
"I was nervous as I
have ever been since my
first 300 game," Kitchen
said. "The 10th frame was
a really bad ball, but I got
lucky."
Kitchen bowls a 216 av-
erage for the Big Horn En-
graving team Thursdays,
bowls a 207 average for the
Sammons Excavation team
Fridays, bowls a 212 aver-
age for the Rose City Lanes

YOUTH LEAGUE
In the Lovell Youth
League, sixth-grader Lane
Herman rolled a 194 sec-
ond game Friday, a 127
first game and a 146 third
game for a 467 series.
The 194 game is Her-
man's highest game this
season.
The ball Herman used
to get the 194 was a Storm
Tropical Breeze.
"I've been bowling for
seven years now," Herman
said. "I think it was skill
or the good coaching by
Mike Kitchen and Chester
Gilliam."
Herman averages a 123
in the youth league this
season.
