MEEKER | Six of the 10 swimmers in ERBM Recreation and Park District’s Meeker Marlins swim team program traveled to Aspen for the first USA swim meet of the season.  Competing against many year-round swimmers, the Marlins placed well. 

Tucker Chinn won the high point award for the 9-10 boys division, an award given to the swimmer in each age group category earning the highest amount of points.  Receiving this award is a great achievement, especially when swimming against year-round swimmers.

A majority of the swims were best times for the Marlins. Coach Shelly Rogers is extremely proud of the hard work her swimmers put in to practice every morning and says, “The results from this weekend prove that hard work translates into positive results.”

The Marlins travel to Craig this weekend.
