Wrangell Sentinel -

Tyson Messmer was among the high school swim team members practicing Friday in their first week of preparation for the season, which will start next month. Meets are tentatively planned for Ketchikan, Petersburg, Sitka and Juneau, culminating in the state tournament in early November. Most of the swim competition last year was virtual, due to COVID-19 travel and social-distancing restrictions, with the team racing in its home pool and sending in times to measure against other schools.
