With a time of 1 minute, 5.48 seconds, Rinne clocked the top time in the 100-yard breaststroke in Friday’s preliminaries of the MSHSAA State Championships at the Rec-Plex in St. Peters in suburban St. Louis. Sophomore Ashley Sturman will join her teammate in the championship round Saturday as she notched the sixth seed in the 500 freestyle (5:07.93) and was seventh in the 200 freestyle (1:55.7). The top-eight finishers advance to the championship heat.
The Wildcats 200 freestyle squad also advanced to the finals by registering a sixth-place time of 1:41.49.

Senior Emily Zweerink was the only Blue Springs South swimmer to qualify for the championship round, recording a seventh-place time of 24.71 in the 50 freestyle. Zweerink will also take the 14th seed into the consolation round of the 100 freestyle (54.42) while Morgan Connors was 15th in the 200 freestyle (1:58.95) and Kayla Canon ended 15th in the 100 backstroke (1:01.00).
