Swimmers take fifth at Shelby

The Columbia Falls swim team took fifth at the Shelby Invitational last weekend. Tyler Langton had individual high points for 8-and-under boys, and Cooper Babcock was second. Colton Babcock was second in high-point honors for the 11-12 boys, and Karyssa Nelson was second for the 11-12 girls.

"The kids did great for their first meet of the season. They're already showing improvement from last year," coach Mike Nelson said. "We had excellent swims from newcomers Afton Wendt, Maria Boyd and Bryce Dunham."

Shelby won the meet. Columbia Falls had just 15 swimmers compared to Shelby's 48. This weekend's meet will be in Conrad.
