Muriuki, Telleria and Van Holland will also swim in the maximum of seven individual events.

She will also swim in the 50-yard breaststroke and the 200yard freestyle. Anna Hackemer and Kyleigh Moran look to drop time in their events at state in the girls’ 13-14 division. Hackemer, 14, will swim in the 50- and 100-yard freestyle, while Moran, 13, is swimming six individual events. Kaitlin Todd, Elly Miiller and Jacob Krier round out the state qualifiers for VAST this weekend. Todd, who is from Ponca, Neb., will swim seven individual events in the girls’ 17-18 division. She narrowly missed being invited to the Nebraska High School State Swim Meet held last weekend. Competing with Todd in the same division is Miiller, who rejoined the team after a 1 ½-year hiatus. She qualified in three events, while only swimming with the team for the last two months. Krier is going to finish his great season with seven individual events as well. Right now, he ranks in the top 16 in South Dakota in every event he is entered. All VAST results will be posted to their Web site: www.vastsd.com. After the state meet, VAST will still be in the water as they await the announcement of accepted entries to the Midwest Regional Swim Meet held at the University of Minnesota Aquatic center.
