Swimming qualifiers
The results of the Gillette Invitational swimming and diving meet came in early Saturday, so that page had already been composed by the time Cheyenne Central coach Mark Miller and Cheyenne East coach Jamie Winkler had e-mailed their results. As a result, their new state-qualifiers didn’t make Sunday’s Wyoming Tribune Eagle.
East had Daniel Devine and Rory Fichtner beat the qualifying standard in the 100-yard breaststroke.
Central saw Brian Wingate post his first qualifying mark in the 100 breast, while Andrew Leach qualified in the 500 freestyle.

Resignations
In the past few weeks Cheyenne East has had three coaches resign. For girls basketball coach Jon Will and boys swimming coach Don Brinkman the reason was career-related. Will is in the midst of gaining admission to pharmacy school and Brinkman is taking another position within LCSD1. Volleyball coach Scott Flack cited family reasons for his resignation.
I have the pleasure of working with several outstanding coaches, but these three stood among the best. They were always pleasant, called in their results in a timely fashion and never gave off the vibe that they expected or didn’t genuinely appreciate the coverage we gave their athletes. I couldn’t ask for much more as a sports reporter.
The trio will be truly missed by all they’ve come in contact with in their roles as coaches – myself included. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
