Scroggs, Milner, Bouda state event winners for KATS

Three members of the Kalispell Aquatic Team (KATS) were event winners at the 2012 Montana Swimming Shortcourse State Championships in Butte Feb. 24-26.

Maxie Scroggs, 17-21 age bracket, won seven events (50, 100 and 200 back, 200 IM, 50 free, 50 and 100 fly).

“Maxie was on fire,” KATS coach Brandon Rannebarger. “Every single event, she did well, and all in personal record times.”

Other single-event winners were Lily Milner, 8-and-under, (25 free) and James Bouda, 11-12, (100 fly).

Placing second for the KATS were Bouda (50 and 100 back, 50 fly and 100 IM) and Madison Walters, 17-21, (1,000 and 1,650 free).

Posting third-best times for the Kalispell team were Antoinette Popp, 10-and-under, (100 fly and 100 free), Bouda (200 back and 50 free), Olivia Gibson, 11-12 (1,650 free), McKenzie Lane, 15-16, (1,000 free), and Walters (500 free).

All total, the KATS had 11 swimmers place in the top five in at least one event.

“We had phenomenal times,” Rannebarger said.

“The parents were excited, the kids were excited, everyone was posting top times. It was a great year. It was nice to see everyone ending up great. Once the seniors caught fire, it cascaded down to the younger swimmers.”

Twenty six of the 28 KATS at state qualified for the finals in at least one event.

Scroggs will now compete in the 100 and 200 backstroke at Senior Speedos Nationals in Federal, Wash., on March 8. She will swim time trials in other events.

“You don’t know how proud I was to see Maxie doing so well,” Rannebarger said at state.

“She’s come a long way. It has been special for me to watch her mature into a wonderful person in the process, in addition to being a great swimmer.”
