Blue Ponies swim against top competition in Great Falls

The Havre High boys and girls swim teams are in the midst of their toughest part of the 2017-18 schedule. But the schedule also gives the Blue Ponies a chance to compete against the best in the state, and that’s what they got Saturday.

Havre was in Great Falls at the Swarthout Pool Saturday for the Stacy Frey Memorial Invitational, a meet which included powerful Class AA squads like Bozeman, CMR and Butte High, as well as one of HHS’ Class A rivals, Hardin.

In all, eight teams took to the pool Saturday, and the Pony girls finished strong with 118 points to place fourth. Bozeman ran away with the meet, while CMR was second and Butte was third. On the boys side, Havre was eighth with 47 points, while Bozeman made it a clean sweep, as the Hawks also won the boys team title.

Individually, there was also a lot of talent in the pool in Great Falls, but the Ponies had one of the best in senior Amelia Miller. She won the 100 freestyle with a time of 57.66, a super-fast race, and she came back to finish second in the 200 free with a time of 2:04.41. Miller has now won seven individual races so far this season.

HHS freshman Kobi Burchard also continued to shine, as she placed third in the grueling 500 free with a time of 5:59.90, while the HHS girls added fourth-place finishes in both the 200 medley relay and 200 free relay.

Havre will now travel to yet another meet with Montana’s best in the pool, when the Blue Ponies take part in the Missoula Invitational this Saturday at the Grizzly Pool. Havre also returns to Great Falls for a triangular Friday, before heading off to Missoula.
