The Havre girls won their fourth straight meet with a team score of 121 points, while the Havre boys finished third out of 13 schools with an overall output of 67 points.

For the girls’, the story was the battle of Havre’s Kaydance Reiter and Laurel’s Kaitlyn Dantic. Both ended up setting personal records in the 100-meter dash as Dantic handed Reiter her first loss of the season, (12.31 to 12.34). However, Reiter earned her revenge in the 200 and bested Dantic, (25.90 to 26.07).

In the 400 meters, Macy Brandon ran a 1:00:38, her best time ever as she took second place. The 800 meters saw Havre’s Ashlyn Ford take first place and set her own mark of 2:26:37. Hailey Gingery won the 3200 meters, placing a time of 12:38:35.

In the 100-meter hurdles, Kyanna Jarvis won that event again, completing it in 16:45. The 4-by-100 relay team of Reiter, Jarvis, Brandon, and Macee May won, completing the event in 50.38 seconds.

In the field, Jarvis was a second-place high jumper, going as high as five feet and two inches. Taylor Leeds cleared nine feet in the pole vault and took second place. May won the long jump, lunging 16 feet and 5.75 inches after takeoff. She also achieved a season-best 33 feet and 5.75 inches for the triple jump, which garnished first place.

For the boys’, it was a good day for Blue Pony Brayden Kimberling, who was top-4 in the 100-meter dash and third for the 200-meter dash, running the 200 in 23.44, which was his best of the season.

In the 1600, Caleb Tomac took second place with a personal best time of 4:25:81. The 3200 meters was a win for Mason Gregoire, finishing seven seconds ahead of second place with a 10:31:39. The 300-meter hurdles was a notable finish for Havre as Jacob Herring came in third and set his best time of 42.49.

In the 4-by-100 relay, the Blue Ponies finished third with Kimberling, Carson Harris, Michael Emge, and Brisbin Reiter as they ran it in 44.29. The 4-by-400 relay was another top-2 finish for Havre as Tomac, Herring, Rhett Wertheimer, and Tre Gary were able to complete in 3:36:39.

The field saw Tommy Lewis achieve a new mark in the shot put, besting his own mark from earlier this season as he threw it 48 feet and 9.5 inches.
