Pony thinclads take steps forward in Lewistown

After the Havre boys team finished third and girls team finished sixth in the Havre Lions Invite, the Havre High track and field teams looked to finish better at the Fergus Invitational in Lewistown this weekend. While the girls team performed better to finish fourth, the boys team took fourth at the meet as well. Regardless of the final results, HHS head coach Ryan Gatch was happy to see his athletes improve.

“I was really happy with how we were improving overall,” Gatch said. “We didn’t see any athletes take a step back, everybody took a positive step forward.”

The boys team scored 60 points to finish fourth out of 11 teams. Belt took first with 114.5 points while Lewistown took second and Harlowton/Ryegate took third. The Havre girls team scored 65 points to take fourth out of 10 teams. Lewistown finished first with 124 points while Harlowton/Ryegate took second and Malta took third.

The Havre girls 4x100 relay team had another successful meet as they won the event with a time of 52.06 seconds. It was the third straight win in the event for the team of Sadie Filius, Tamera O’Leary, Kennedy Hampton and Loy Waid. Gatch said they were four-tenths of a second away from automatically qualifying for state with their time.

The Havre boys 4x100 relay team also had a successful meet as they finished second in the event behind Belt with a time of 46.9 seconds.

The Blue Ponies also had plenty of individuals have a successful meet. Nolan Lotton continued his strong season as he finished first in the 100-meter sprint with a time of 11.22 and he took first in the 200 meters with a time of 23.31. He also finished third in the 400 with a time of 54.44.

Dylan Young had a good meet winning the 1,600 meters with a time of 4:55.08. He also finished with a time of 2:08.95 in the 800 to take fourth

In the girls long jump, Kyanna Jarvis took first with a distance of 4-10. She also took second in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 17.6 seconds.

Sadie Filius took second in the 300-meter hurdles, the first time this season where she did not win the event. She recorded a time of 49.38 seconds.

Loy Waid finished second in both the 100 and 400. She recorded a time of 13.75 seconds in the 100 and a time of 1:03.65 in the 400.

Even though some Havre athletes did not finish high, they still impressed Gatch because they improved on their personal times.

“Really excited about all of our athletes getting better in the areas we wanted to see improvements in,” Gatch said. “We saw improvement in the vertical jumps and in the horizontal jumps and then we saw improvement in our throwing areas.”

As the Ponies move forward into the season, they are now in the mindset that they will need to train to be ready for the postseason.

“They know that for us to go compete at the divisional and state level, we got to train smart, fast and physical and be ready to go as the next meets keep coming,” Gatch said.

The HHS track and field team will compete in the Sidney Invite this Saturday.
