The Glenbrook School swim team closed out a strong season at the 2025 LHSAA Division IV State Swimming Championship in Sulphur, with multiple individual finalists, major time drops, and all three girls’ relays advancing to the finals.
Mollie Thurman (Junior) turned in two outstanding performances in her individual events. She finished 5th in the 100-yard Freestyle with a personal-best time of 1:05.63, improving her entry time by nearly three seconds. Thurman also placed 6th in the 100-yard Backstroke, dropping over five seconds from her seed time to record a final time of 1:18.08. She improved her placement in both events and set personal records in each.
Maddox Snider (8th Grade) qualified for finals in both of his individual events. Snider delivered one of the largest improvements of the meet in the 200-yard Individual Medley, cutting his time by more than 15 seconds to finish 8th in 2:31.84. He also competed as a state finalist in the 100-yard Butterfly. Snider qualified for an impressive seven of the eight individual events offered at the state level this season.
The Glenbrook girls’ relay team—Lexi Barnett, Emma Kratzer, Grace Dennin, Mollie Thurman, and Ella Stahl—had a standout showing, qualifying for finals in all three of their relay events and producing major time drops.
• 200-yard Medley Relay: 7th place — 2:40.32, a drop of 14.73 seconds
• 200-yard Freestyle Relay: 9th place — 2:37.25, dropping 6.60 seconds
• 400-yard Freestyle Relay: 7th place — 6:08.98, improving by 13.42 seconds
Several swimmers posted personal-best splits within these races. The Medley Relay featured one of the largest team improvements of the meet, despite a mid-race goggle issue.
Head coach Amber Snider praised the group’s commitment and progress.
“These swimmers showed up every day ready to work,” Snider said. “Their drops at State were the result of consistency, effort, and a strong team culture. I’m incredibly proud of each of them.”
Glenbrook closes the season on a high note with multiple top-10 finishes, significant individual improvements, and a young roster that continues to grow and advance in Louisiana’s competitive high school swimming landscape.
