Sam Ells ran impressive times while winning the boys 1,600 and 3,200, and Noah Fincher and Holly Skelton won twice as well for Glacier, in the Wolfpack’s dual track meet against Helena Capital Friday.
Cool, overcast conditions didn’t stop several athletes from putting up excellent marks — including Ells’ state-best time of 4 minutes, 25.13 seconds in the 1,600.
Glacier’s boys short relay team clocked 43.90, which leads the state; Caleb Bernhardt ran the best time in the 110-meter hurdles, 16.10 seconds, though he fell later in the 300s.
Reuben Hornby uncorked a javelin throw of 175 feet, 6 inches, and that also leads the state.
Connor Sullivan and Jeff Lillard went 1-2 in the long jump, and Lillard won the 400 for the Pack, who had victories from Henry Sellards (shot put) and Ethan Anderson (triple jump).
Capital’s boys outscored Glacier’s 74-71.
Glacier’s girls rolled 80-59, with Kiera Sullivan taking the early-season lead in the long jump with a mark of 16-9.
Fincher won the 100 in 13.47, and also took the javelin. Skelton won the 1,600 and 3,200, the latter with the third-best time in the state (12.46.72).
Capital’s Kathryn Sheridan ran state-best times in both the 100 hurdles (16.09) and the 300s (47.23), but Glacier had plenty of solid marks, including freshman Jadan Pevey clearing 4-11 in the high jump, and Bethany Sorensen and Reagan Brisendine both reaching 16 feet in the long jump.
