Three Flathead athletes won multiple events as the Braves and Bravettes kicked off the season in a dual against Whitefish on Tuesday at Legends Stadium.

Payge Boyce won the girls’ 100-meter dash and the long jump, finishing third in the 200 to start the season off fast for the Bravettes. Teammate Kelsey Gillespie won the 300 hurdles and the discus, clearing 95 feet, 4 inches in the latter to win by more than eight feet.

It was a a big night for the Bravettes in the non-scoring meet, with Flathead winning 12 of the 17 events.

Four girls set qualifying marks to secure a spot at state after the first meet of the season. The Bravettes impressed in the distance runs, with Kaitlin Wride setting a qualifying mark with her win in the 1,600-meter run, winning in 5 minutes, 25.15 seconds. Gillian Maness also qualified with her win in the 3,200, finishing in 11:38.92.

Flathead junior Alyssa Wisher won the javelin with a throw of 124-6 and teammate Lizzie Sherwood finished second at 117-0, each also setting qualifying marks.

Whitefish’s Lydia Kryshak won the 200, Allie Shulz the 100 hurdles and Kate Doorn the high jump to take individual titles for the Bulldogs. Whitefish also swept the relays.

The Flathead boys won all but one event at the dual, led by Keaton Krantz, who set qualifying marks when he won the long and triple jumps. His triple jump of 43-2 is the longest in the state this season and his long jump the longest in Class AA.

Braves junior Micah Bucy set a state qualifying mark with his win in the high jump, clearing the bar at 6-3, the highest jump in Class AA this season.

Luke May was the sole winner for Whitefish, easily taking the shot put with a toss of 42-5.
