Meet: Havre Invitational

Date: 2011-04-16
Snow, rain, wind and sun, the Havre High track teams got a little bit of everything as the Blue Ponies shined in only their second meet of the season.

Saturday, the Central A Blue Ponies hosted their annual Lions Invitational at the Havre Middle School track. And in what turned out to be a pretty good day for a meet, the Ponies grabbed two top finishes. The HHS girls grabbed the No. 1 spot with 145 points and the boys earned the No. 2 spot with 122 points.

The HHS girls beat out Malta (100.5), Chinook (80.5), North Star (60), Fort Benton (38), Shelby (36), Wolf Point (28), Big Sandy (7), Hays-Lodge Pole (6) and Box Elder (2). And while the Pony boys were beat by Malta, with 130 points, HHS beat out Fort Benton (99), Chinook (66), Shelby (34.5), Wolf Point (18), North Star (16.5), Big Sandy (13), Harlem (11), Box Elder (2) and Hays-Lodge Pole (1).

“This was a good meet for us,” Havre head coach Trever VanCampen said. “The competition was good. The weather played a factor, but overall the kids didn’t let that affect them or their performance. They really competed at a high level, and hopefully that carries all they way over to divisionals.”

It was a good outing for both Blue Pony squads, and it showed in the scores. And from the Ponies' first meet of the season two weeks ago, to their second, the improvement showed in many different events.

Leading the way once again for the girls was Sammy Evans. Evans has barely missed a beat from her appearance at the state meet a year ago till now, placing in five individual events, four of which were No. 1 finishes on Saturday. Evans' second-place finish came in the triple jump, where she leaped a distance of 31-7. Evans grabbed the No. 1 spot in the 200-meter sprint with a time of 28:95 and the No. 1 spot in the 400-meter run with a time of 1:03.15. She also finished first in the high jump with a height of 5-0 and first in the long jump with a distance of 15-3.

“It feels really good to pick up where I left off last year,” Evans said. “The weather hasn’t helped at all, but you just have to get out and do it. And I think our team is off to a good start, better than last year even. We’ve got the talent and the numbers, and we will be ready for divisionals.”

Ashlynn VanVoast also had a good afternoon, earning three top-four individual finishes. VanVoast was second in the 200 meters with a time of 29.6, third in the 800 meters with a time of 2:43.1 and fourth in the 300-hurdles with a time of 51.8.

But the points were earned from all over the HHS roster, including Jaye Ceynar, Peyton Filius, Katie Christianson, Brittanee Wood-Korb, Peighton Gilman and Jennifer Nordgiven, who all placed in two individual events each on Saturday.

Ceynar was sixth in the 100 (14.8) and first in the pole vault (8-0), while Filius was third in the 800 (2:38.6) and second in the 1,600 (5:59.6). Christianson earned points with a third-place finish in the 1,600 (6:03.3) and a second-place finish in the 3,200 meters (12:52.3), while Wood-Korb helped out the team with a sixth-place finish in the 1,600 (6:24.6) and a fifth-place finish in the 3,200 (13:59.1). Gilman finished third in the shot put (29-2) and sixth in the discus (75-10) and Nordgiven finished fourth in the long jump (13-3) and fourth in 100-hurdles (21.28).

Other Blue Pony finishers included Mikell Kinsella with a fifth-place finish in the 400 (1:11.5), Brooke Jappe with a sixth-place finish in the 800 (2:46.4), Larissa Price with a fifth-place finish in the 1,600 (6:20.4) and Rachel Karnauskes with a sixth-place finish in the long jump (12-6). Both relay teams also grabbed a second place finish. The 400 relay finished in a time of 55.7 and the 1,600 relay finished with a time of 4:33.0.

The Havre boys also got a lot of production from all over the lineup, but were led by Mason Case, Marc Klimas, Garrett Aguillard, Kendall Murie and Michael Richards, who all placed in two individual events each.

Case made his mark in the sprints, finishing in first place in the 100 (11.9) and second in the 200 (24.55), while Klimas finished fourth in the 1,600 and second in the 3,200 (10:48.0). And Aguillard earned a fifth-place finish in the 800 (2:16.4) and a third-place finish in the 1,600 (5:07.8), while Murie topped all participants with a first-place finish in the 1,600 (5:01.6) and a first-place finish in the 3,200 (10:39.8). Richards finished the 110-hurdles in fourth place (19.6) and the 300-hurdles in sixth place (50.3).

HHS also had 10 other individuals place in the top six on Saturday.

Tyson Kultgen was fifth in the 100 (12.2), while Ty Bauer was sixth in the 400 (56.40) and Dolan Tuss was fourth in the 3,200 (11:42.6) and Evan Flathers was third in the 300-hurdles (45.2). Carson Pollington was third in the high jump (5-4), Thurmon Holdsclaw was fourth in the triple jump (36-3) and Zach Plum was second in the pole vault (9-2). Joey Devries took second place in the shot put (38-5) and Trent Nystrom took fourth in the javelin (141-7), while Chasun Law took fifth in the discus (106-9).

Both relay teams also placed for the Ponies. The 400 relay was third with a time of 47.07 and the 1600 relay was second with a time of 3:57.46.

Overall, the Ponies have already shown steady improvement in just two meets. And while it was good to see more individuals step up, VanCampen was more pleased with everybody coming together in what was a very solid team effort.

“This meet made me extremely proud to be the Havre coach," he said. "The kids did everything the coaches asked them to do and I could really see their growing confidence. We had a lot of kids PR last time out, and we saw that again this weekend. Those are the kids that are coming in and working hard, and overall the team is really turning the corner. They really came together and competed as a team today (Saturday).”

The Ponies have a short turnaround, as they will take to the road on Tuesday to compete in a dual at CMR and return to the road on Friday to compete in Belgrade. (Havre Daily News, April 18, 2011)
