The Wildcats made a splash this weekend at the two-day Bob McKinnon meet in Great Falls.

“The kids swam really well amongst some really tough AA and A competition,” said head coach Kyle Babcock.  

On Friday, they had a regular swim meet; results are listed below. 

On Saturday, the Kats had a “relay meet,” in which the girls finished fourth in Class A, the boys finished third in A, and overall third in A. 

“It was a great opportunity for our team to go through the process of a two day meet. The kids responded really well and swam just as tough, day two, as we did day one. It was a fun meet Saturday but the swimming was still fast and our kids have shown massive growth since our Kalispell meet,” Babcock said.
