Improved Fallon swim team aims for state

The next chapter of the swimming season is this weekend when the Greenwave competes in the 3A regional meet in Carson City.

Fallon, which saw improved times throughout the regular season, will compete for a state berth with the top-four finishers advancing to next week’s state championship. But in order to qualify for state, the Wave will need to move past Friday’s trials when the top eight advances to Saturday’s final heat in the individual events. The relays will not conduct a trial run.

Listed below is where the Greenwave stands before the Truckee meet on Saturday; results were not available. State qualifying times listed reflect the fourth-place swimmer in each event. The top four advance to state.
