GREAT FALLS — After taking second place last season, both the Bozeman boys and girls dominated the field to sweep the Class AA titles at the MHSA 2020 Swim Meet on Saturday.
The Missoula Hellgate girls took second and Butte took third. For the boys, Great Falls CMR took second and Great Falls High took third. It was the first state trophy for the Bison since 1989.
