Malta teams win in Havre

The Mustangs and M-ettes teams swept the Havre Invitational varsity track meets on Saturday, May 4, with each team scoring over 100 points.

Headed into the district meet, the Malta track teams have gone back to back weeks with multiple meets.

"We were pretty tired Saturday and still performed fairly well," Malta Head Coach Jim Benn said. "We didn't have a lot of personal bests but with having four meets in two weeks that's generally not going to happen."

Coach Benn believes that the team may perform better at the district meet and beyond, given they are back to only one meet a week.

"We can kind of get recovered and work on a few things," he said. "It should be a good meet for us."

As far as the Havre meet, the Mustangs won their meet with a total of 135 points. Havre was second with 128 points and Chester-Joplin-Inverness (CJI) was third with 74. The M-ettes won their meet by scoring 157.5. Havre was second with 131.5 and CJI was third with 36.

"Their times and distances may not have been (at their best) but that sometimes is more because of how the wind was blowing in different directions, it was cold, and they were tired," Coach Benn said. "But they performed well in comparison with other teams."

Several athletes were rested during the event to help them recover for the district meet.

The following are individual times, distances, and placing for the Mustangs and M-ettes at the Havre Invitational on Saturday, May 4.
