Pierre Swim Team put on another good performance at home, State times coming next week

By Justin Cowart Jul 11, 2026 | 12:03 AM
Pierre Swim Team had a solid showing in their most previous home meet, a showing that might have been their best of the season. The boys in the 9-10 age group were handled their own taking the top five finishes in that division.
Up next for PST, they have three swimmers competing in Bismark the weekend of July 17th, which will also be the same weekend as the Rising Stars meet. This meet will be held in Sioux Falls and will be the last chance for State times. Pierre has seven swimmers competing to get their State times to compete at the State A Championship the following weekend in Rapid City. You can view the results below the photos:
