The Daily Inter Lake

POLSON - Polson track and field fans were treated to a couple of top performances at Saturday's ABC track meet.

Ronan-St.Ignatius high jumper Cameron Barber went 6 feet, 6 inches. That not only won the event, it moved Barber ahead of Glendive jumper Ty Meiers for first on the state-best list.

Relay fans were also treated to the best girls 1,600 relay time so far as Hamilton ran a 4:01.9.

The previous best was 4:03.1 by the Flathead Bravettes.

As for the team scores, the Pirate boys slipped by Whitefish by the slimmest of margins - 92 1/3 to 90 1/3.

Ronan-St. Ignatius was third at 79 and Hamilton was fourth at 68 1/2.

Whitefish's girls won five events en route to 94 points and the meet title. Hamilton scored 80 points for second and Polson was third with 74 1/2 points.

The Ferda cousins - Courtney and Ashley - combined for four wins for Whitefish. The senior Courtney won the 200 (26.0) and 300 hurdles (45.42) while Ashley, a junior, won the 100 hurdles (16.35) and the javelin (120 feet, 9 inches).

Courtney Ferda's 300 hurdle time is the third best time in the state so far this year.
