Blue Ponies start strong on the track

The Havre High track teams got their seasons underway Saturday in Lewistown at the Central Montana Invitational and had some good performances from both the boys and girls teams.

The Central Montana Invite features teams from Lewistown and the surrounding area, as well as fellow Central A member Browning. And while no team scores were kept, both the Blue Pony boys and girls had a number of athletes that turned in point-getting performances.

“We were hoping to a look at the athletes and see what kind of effort that they were putting in while they were competing because we have a lot of young athletes,” HHS head coach John Ita said. “And boy, the kids did well. The boys team surprised us in a couple ways. They don’t have a lot of point getters, but they competed hard. The girls team, it wasn’t really much of a scoring meet, but they would have scored a lot of points. We had a lot of first, second and third places.”

In all, there were three Havre girls who came away with individual titles at the meet, including senior Kristen Nash, who threw 100-10 to win the discus. Amelia Beard also won the long jump for the Pony girls, with a jump of 14-11, while sophomore Caitlyn Terry also topped the podium in the triple jump after a mark of 30-09. Both Pony relay teams on the girls side finished in first place after the 400-meter relay team ran a 54.72 and the 1,600 relay team ran a 4:28.39.

Beard also finished second for HHS in the triple jump behind Terry, who was third in the long jump. Nash was sixth in the shot put, while another thrower, Jordan Keith was fourth in the shot put, discus and javelin. Sophomore Sarah Faber also had a nice day, finishing second in the high jump, as well as sixth in the long jump. Grace Loftus finished third in the long jump and freshman Jessa Chvilicek also came in third in the high jump.

Sophomore Tayler Marinkovich also did well for herself in Lewistown, finishing fourth in the 200-meter dash and sixth in the 100. Logan Huebsch contributed to the effort with a third-place showing in the 100-hurdles, while Ireland Coyne was fifth in the same event. Freshman Ashlin Kim had a nice debut for HHS, ending up fifth in the 1,600.

“I saw a lot of really positive things,” Ita said. “We haven’t even worked a ton long jump and triple jump, but we had a few girls that did really well and had some do well in the throwing events and the hurdles, so it was a good first step.”

The Havre boys also had some good starts to the season, especially for senior Jacob LaBrie, who won the 400-meter dash with a time of 55.69. The Pony boys also finished first in the 400-meter relay with a time of 48.56 and sixth in the 1,600-meter relay. The other top individual performers were Jakob Keller, who was fourth in the 800 and sixth in the 1,600. Andrew VandenBos finished sixth in the 800 for Havre. Trevor Williams was sixth in the 3,200, and in the 300 hurdles, Austin Jones ended up third.

“I think for the first meet, we saw some good things,” Ita said. “The kids competed hard. It’s always different when you have your first real competitive races and things, but for the most part, we had everyone come away healthy and that was the main goal, was just to get everyone through it and gain that experience.”

Both Havre teams will be back in action at the Cal Wearley track meet Wednesday at the Havre Middle School Track.
