Englehart has been busy in the past few days coaching at the Futures Championships at the University of Minnesota.
Meanwhile, Bartlesville enjoyed strong representation this past week at the Oklahoma Coaches All-State East vs. West meet.
The OCA All-State games are for high school seniors-only.
In the competition from Bartlesville High — which Englehart also coaches — were Amanda LaFrancois and Morgan Moore.
“I know both had a lot of fun and said they swam well,” Englehart said.
A third Bartlesville All-State choice, Aidan Howze, didn’t participate in the All-State match, opting to compete in Minnesota, Englehart said.
