Blue Pony swimmers thrive in Great Falls

It was a busy weekend for the Havre High boys and girls swim teams. And with Christmas break fast approaching, the Blue Ponies took advantage of their time in the water.

HHS was in Great Falls for Friday's Great Falls Class A Invitational, as well as Saturday's Great Falls Relays. And the Ponies did quite well, in what was their last meet before the new year.

Havre faced off against great Falls High, CMR and Hardin in Friday's meet at the Swarthout Fieldhouse Pool. The Pony girls finished third with 106 team points, while CMR won the meet with 250. GFH was second and Hardin was a distant fourth. On the boys side, HHS scored 102 points, which was nine behind third-place Hardin. The Bison boys were first with 198, followed by the Rustlers.

Individually, Friday saw plenty of standout performances by Havre swimmers.

On the girls side, Lieza Reighard placed second in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 29.13, while teammate Morgan Jappe was sixth in the same race with a time of 29.68. Hannah Pepprock placed fifth in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:23.13 and Jappe came in right behind her with a time of 1:25.28. Reighard finished fifth in the 100 free with a time of 1:04.68 and Jackie Martin placed a solid fifth in the 100 butterfly at 1:25.45.

The Pony girls also had strong showings in the relays. The Havre 'A' squad took second in the 200 free relay with a time of 1:57.89. The team was composed of Jappe, Martin Reighard and Megan Smith. The Pony 'B' team also placed sixth in the same race with a time of 2:12.79. That team was made up of Mackenna Barkus, Samantha French, Lexi Olson and Larissa price. The Pony girls placed third in the 200 medley relay at 2:14.99. The team was composed of Pepprock, Reighard, Martin and Smith. The 400 free relay team of Barkus, Jappe, Pepprock and Skylar Vukasin also placed fourth in the 400 free relay.

Several HHS boys were fast in the water Friday as well. Nick Rhines took second in the 100 free with a time of 56.75. The Ponies dominated the race with Desmond Fialkosky (57.80) placing fourth and Taylor Rippenburg (58.14) fifth. Rhines swam to a fifth-place finish in the 200 free with a time of (2:18.23, while Fialkosky placed fourth in the 200 IM with a time of 2:45.94. Riphenburg swam to a fourth-place finish in the 50 free as well, coming in with a time of 25.06. Bryant O'Leary placed fourth in the 100 breaststroke and Paul Jeffery was fifth.

In the relays, the Havre team of Bren Broadhead, Jeffery, O'Leary and Ben Siegel placed third in the 200 free relay with a time of 1:54.31, while the team of Rhines, Fialkosky, Riphenburg and O'Leary finished fourth in the 200 medley relay at 2:03.10. The team composed of Rhines, Fialkosky, Riphenburg and Siegel placed fourth in the 400 free relay at 4:05.13.

In Saturday's combined relay meet in Great Falls, the Ponies combined to score eight points. The meet was made up of almost all of Class AA, as well as Havre and Hardin. Helena High placed first, with Bozeman second and Glacier third.
