Babcock wins a pair in Great Falls meet
The Columbia Falls swim team wrapped up its regular season with a solid meet in Great Falls last week. The girls took 11th and the boys sixth. Colton Babcock broke two school records with a 47.23 in the 100 freestyle and the 100 breaststroke with a 1:00.06. He won both races.
Karyssa Nelson also set new school marks with a 2:09.49 in the 200 free and a 1:03.45 in the 100 backstroke. Nelson took seventh in the free and second in the backstroke.
The girls 400 freestyle relay also set a new mark with a 4:31.57, good enough for eighth place.
The team has two weeks of practice before the state tournament in Great Falls Feb. 13-14.
All told, eight boys and five girls have qualified for state, which pits schools across all classes against each other. Teams win by class, but individual champions are determined in each race, regardless of school class.
