The Great Falls High and C.M. Russell boys’ and girls’ swimming teams are continuing to improve.

The Rustler girls took first with 440 team points on day one of the Great Falls Invite at the GFH pool, and the Bison boys finished on top with 312, 22 markers ahead of the CMR boys, as the teams played host to Class A Whitefish, Havre, Hardin and Columbia Falls.

The Bison and Rustlers welcome 11 Class AA schools as well as several A programs for the relay meet.

GFH and CMR head coach Ed McNamee said he was very pleased with the teams’ overall performances to start the weekend.

“We had a lot of good swims today,” McNamee said. “The kids were excited to swim at home and you could tell. We set ourselves up for tomorrow in a really positive way. You could really go down the line with how many kids improved.”

Junior Olivia Bauman took both of her individual events for CMR, winning the 100 meter butterfly and 100 freestyle.

“I was really impressed with her,” McNamee said, “for her to win back-to-back.”

McNamee said he was also proud of Bison senior Jared Biddle, who took the 200 free.

The veteran swimming coach said the teams’ energy level was outstanding.

“A lot of times at this meet the kids get worn out towards the end,” McNamee said. “Today that really didn’t happen. We didn’t drop off like we did in the past and were consistently getting faster. We have a great group of seniors and underclassmen as well.”

McNamee said the quick turnaround to Saturday’s relay event will be a good test.

“There’s not much time to reevaluate,” he said. “The coaches will look it over a little bit tonight and we’ll get back after it again (on Saturday).”
