HELENA — The Flathead boys had three individual event winners and the Glacier girls look on their way to a repeat victory after the first day of the Western AA divisional track and field meet on Friday at Vigilante Stadium.

Jake Perrin cruised to a victory in the 3,200-meter run as the Braves sit one point behind host Helena High in the team race through seven events. Tre Vasquez won the long jump with a leap of 21 feet, 9 1/2 inches and Micah Bucy took the high jump on a tiebreaker at 6-1.

The Glacier team edged Helena in the 400 relay, running the fastest time in the state this season at 42.37 seconds.

Glacier sophomore Annie Hill won both the 800 and 3,200 to give the Glacier girls a one-point lead on Helena High after the first day.

Hill topped her own divisional record in the 800, finnishing in 2:09.28, nearly a second faster than her time last year.

Flathead’s Alyssa Wisher won the javelin with a toss of 120-4.

Western B

MISSOULA — The Libby girls lead the team race after the first day at the Western B divisional track meet, with Bigfork in both the boys and girls team races.

Shannon Reny won the shot put to give the Loggers their only individual event win, but the depth of the former Class A school has proven the key.

Bigfork’s girls took the top three spots in the 400 and the 400 relay and currently sit two points back of the Loggers. The Valkyries will be without one of their better athletes for the rest of the season, however, as sophomore distance standout Bryn Morley will sit out with a stress fracture.

Ronan won three of the first seven events and sits three points back in third, Ashley McCready winning the 3,200, Ally Buhr the pole vault and Lee Camel the long jump.

Eureka’s Mckay Guckenberg won the 800 in 2:29.83.

The Thompson Falls boys hold a healthy lead in the team race over second place Bigfork, but the Vikings have had their share of success. Matt Farrier won the 400 and Logan Morley the 1,600 by nearly 20 seconds.

Eureka’s Kaelan Yanak won the shot put with a toss of 47 feet, 3 1/2 inches.
