Record-setting day at State AA and B track

It was a record-setting day at Legends Stadium at the Class AA and B state track and field championships, with five state records and two all-class records falling on Friday.

Glacier’s Keyawna Larson won her third-straight javelin state championship, setting the Class AA record in the process with a toss of 144 feet, 7 inches, pushing the record out by a foot.

Bigfork freshman Bryn Morley set the all-class record in the 1,600-meter run, topping older sister Makena in the Class B final with a time of 4:47.76, and beating the record of 4:48.24 set by Townend’s Chiara Warner in 2013.

However, her record only lasted about 15 minutes, when Billings Senior’s Christina Aragon passed Glacier freshman Annie Hill on the final lap of the Class AA 1,600 to win with a time of 4:46.34. Hill finished second in 4:48.11.

Helena High senior Chase Smith cleared 16-4 in the pole vault, obliterating the former all-class record of 15-9 set in 1988 by Todd Foster of Helena.

Flathead’s Chade Gonter won the high jump (6-3) and Glacier’s Austin Cook the long jump (22-1.75) in Class AA. Logan Morley won the boys’ 3,200 (10:04.38) in Class B.
