Butte Invitational Results

BUTTE -- Missoula schools swept the team titles Saturday at the Butte Invitational swim meet.

The Missoula Sentinel girls brought home the gold by scoring 402 points, eding crosstown rival Hellgate, which had 396.5. Kalispell Glacier was third at 242.

Missoula Hellgate ran away with the boys' meet, scoring 439 points. Butte was second with 278 and Columbia Falls was third at 255.

Hellgate freshman Finn Westenfelder won a tight race in the boys' 100-yard freestyle, stopping the clock in 52.86 seconds. Glacier's Anthony Clason was second in 52.90.

"He's a freshman and he brought it home for Hellgate," Missoula coach Helen Houlihan said.

The Hellgate boys also received wins from Darragh Mahns in the 50 freestyle and Matthew Fritz in the 100 backstroke. The Knights' 200 medley relay, 200 freestyle relay and 400 freestyle relay also took first.

Freshman Brooklyn Leiby paced the Spartans by winning the 100 butterfly in 1:02.77. Hellgate's Kennedy Salonen was next at 1:06.74.

"That was an outstanding swim," Houlihan said of Leiby's win.

It was the only gold won by the Spartans, who used their depth to secure the team title.

Hellgate's Ellee Becker won the 200 individual medley (2:23.27) and teammate Gabby Smart won the 100 breaststroke (1:11.76). Hellgate also won a pair of relays, the 200 medley and the 400 freestyle.
