Glacier has a field day

Ethan Anderson rolled and so did most of the rest of the Glacier Wolfpack, who swept a track and field dual from visiting Columbia Falls in convincing fashion Thursday.

Anderson ran a personal-record 38.37 seconds in his 300-meter hurdles win. He also won the 110-meter hurdles, and in both races teammate Evan Barnes was second — and Barnes ran a season-best 14.95 through the 110s.

Glacier’s boys scored Columbia Falls 114-31, and the Wolfpack girls prevailed 119-17. 

The Wildcats did see standout sprinter Malaki Simpson win a 100 meters duel with Glacier’s Kash Goicoechea (11.01 to 11.12), and also had wins from Jack Phelps in the 400 and Quinn Clark in the 3,200.

Glacier’s Zeila Wagner swept the 100 and 200 and teammate Breanna Barnes won the 100 hurdles and pole vault on the girls side of things.

Many of the biggest highlights came in the field events. For example, the shot put pit is where Glacier’s Aiden Krause took over the Class AA lead with a mark of 59 feet, 5 inches. 

It’s his PR by almost four feet, is nearly five feet beyond the next-best throw in the AA (54-9.5 by Helena Capital’s Barrett Hageman) and left teammate Henry Sellards (an impressive 53-11) a ways back in second.

Krause also won the discus as usual, throwing 176-9. Columbia Falls’ Lane Voermans was second at 158-8.

On the girls’ side, Kai Johnson PR’d in the discus — throwing 126-2 — to give her two wins Thursday. She won the shot put at 40-7. 

Placing behind Johnston, and setting a PR in both events for the second straight week, was freshman Rylee Bigelow. She pushed her best discus mark to 117-8 and threw 36-2 in the shot put. She met the State AA qualifying standards in the latter; she did the same in the discus last week.

Glasgow’s Charlotte Osler hit a PR in the javelin, winning at 119-10. Teammate Jaidyn Peevy also PR’d at 115-10, placing second and qualifying for state. Pevey also won the long jump.

Columbia Falls sophomore Aubrey Smith won the triple jump at 36-4, which is a PR by almost six feet and now leads Class A.
