BARTLESVILLE AREA SPORTS REPORT
Paced by the golden performances of Parker Shoesmith, Anna Young and others — and the consistent excellence of Ashlynn Taylor — the Bartlesville Splash Club revved up a tidal wave of success at last weekend’s 2025 Oklahoma Swimming 11-and-older Championships competition in the Jenks pool.
Taylor powered to the girls’ 15-and-older high points title, boosted by two individual silver medal performances and a spot on the first-place girls 200m medley relay squad.
Shoesmith surged to three individual titles in the boys’ 15-and-older division. He won the 200m breaststroke, 200m individual medley and 400m freestyle. He recorded the final two wins in A Finals.
He also earned an individual silver medal. He could have picked up more hardware in relay races, but the relay participants aren’t listed.
Young (girls 15-and-older) hustled to first place in the 200m individual medley and 200m freestyle, the latter being an A Final.
The Splash Club’s 15-and-older pool warriors finished third as a team in state while the 11-14-year-old group came in sixth.
