Records fall at 7B track meet

BIGFORK — Bigfork junior Makena Morley hadn’t run a full slate of races all season in hopes to save her legs for the championship meets. The strategy seems to be working.

Morley broke three District 7B track meet records Saturday, shredding the old marks on the way to three of her four event victories. She ran the anchor leg of the winning 1,600 relay.

“I haven’t done three or four (events) yet this year,” Morley said. “I was a little tired.”

Morley broke her own record in the 1,600-meter run, finishing in 4 minutes, 58.09 seconds to top the mark she set last year by six seconds; and the 3,200 in 10:48.74, topping the mark from her freshman season by more than 23 seconds.

She also topped the mark in the 800 set in 2010 by the Valkyries’ Kayla Carlson by finishing in 2:18.11, to beat the old record by nearly two seconds. Morley spent the first half of the race pacing teammate Emily Cheroske, who was running the 800 for her first time. Cheroske finished second in 2:27.55.

“It was her first time, she was really nervous,” Morley said. “She did super awesome. I was proud of her.”

Cheroske set her own record earlier in the meet, winning the 400 in 59.26 to top the mark of 59.72 set by Bigfork’s Dana Macalusco in 1994.

Thompson Falls’ boys 400 relay team broke the only other meet record, finishing in 44.39 to best one of the oldest records at the meet, 44.39 set by Bigfork twice in 1986 and 1988.

Eureka’s Emily Billow, who holds the second longest shot put in the state this season, easily out-tossed the field in that event with a throw of 38 feet, 7 inches.

Plains’ girls won the district team title with its depth. Junior star Hailey Phillips won the 200, 100 hurdles and 300 hurdles and was second in the 400 behind only Cheroske’s record-setting effort. Nicole Rehbein won the 100 and finished second in the 200. In the field, Leah Thompson won the discus and Kimberly Earhart the javelin.

Thompson Falls’ Hannum sisters dominated the jumping events, Shey and Autrey each clearing 5-2 in the high jump, with Shey winning a tiebreaker. Autrey won the long jump, triple jump and the pole vault.

Bigfork’s Logan Morley followed suit with his older sister, winning each of the distance races, the 800 in 2:07.71, the 1,600 in 4:41.93 and the 3,200 in 10:36.70. The Vikings’ Carson Cantrell won the 300 hurdles and Tyler Iverson the discus. Josh Sandry tied the Bigfork school record of 6-4 in the high jump, barely missing three tries at 6-5.

“My previous best was 6-3. I knew I wanted to beat the school record,” Sandry said.

“I almost got 6-5 today. I had a couple good attempts ... just hit it off my heels. I’ll get it though.”

Eureka took the top two places in the 110 hurdles and pole vault with Brandon Conard and Christian Langston outpacing their heat in the hurdles and Tristin Lihme and Mason Haidle each clearing 12 feet in the vault. Lihme won with a mark of 12-6.

The Lions’ Khaz Yanak, the top Class B triple jumper, won his event with a mark of 41-6.

“I started working on my form a lot more this year,” Yanak said.

“I’m a lot stronger.”

Troy’s Sean Opland won both the 200 and 400, and the Trojans’ Gabe Hickman won the long jump and javelin. Plains’ Ben Gorham won the shot put.
