Glacier swimmers break 6 records

Glacier swimmers broke six school records and a pair of newcomers also made some big waves in the season opening Kalispell Invitational at The Summit on Saturday.

Glacier’s Jordan Loyda (100 freestyle, 49.30; and 100 backstroke, 57.06) and Makenna Siebenaler (50 freestyle, 26.03; and 100 freestyle, 58.06) both set two new school standards.

Joshua Loyda (500 freestyle, 5:22.93) and Jessica Stenberg (500 freestyle, 5:37.00) were the other record setters for the Wolfpack.

Flathead’s Cassie Krueger won two events (50 freestyle, 25.97; and 100 backstroke, 1:06.56) in her prep debut.

Krueger has competed with the KATS program previously.

“A great swim,” Flathead/Glacier coach Dave Lillard said of Krueger. “Good strokes, real fast (in the freestyle).”

Glacier’s Tommy Briner finished 16th in the 50 freestyle in his first high school meet with a time of 31.98.

“He broke 40 seconds,” Lillard said.

“That’s incredible for a new swimmer.”

On the team front, Flathead finished fourth, 245 points, and Glacier sixth, 215, in the girls competition.

Missoula Hellgate topped the field with a 576 total.

For the boys, Hellgate again was the top scorer with a 528 total.

Glacier was third, 343.

Flathead did not score.

Up next for Flathead and Glacier is the Butte Invitational on Saturday.
