Glacier boys, Bravettes third at Western AA track
HELENA — Jeff Lillard and Aiden Krause were money, and so were Alivia Rinehart and Zoey Bortz. Behind them the Glacier boys and Flathead girls took home third-place trophies from the Western AA Divisional track and field meet.
When the two-day meet concluded Saturday, Helena Capital’s boys had 122 points to 86 for Helena and 82 for Glacier.
Helena won the girls title with 133 points to 114 for Missoula Hellgate and 110 for Flathead.
Rinehart was racing just her third 100 meters of the season Saturday, and won in 12.82 seconds, leading a 1-2 Bravette finish with Kelcey Copping (12.88).
Rinehart (26.09) and Copping (26.32) later finished 2-3 in the 200, behind Helena’s Madilyn Todorovich, and was second to Bortz in the 300 hurdles. Both PR’d in that event: Bortz clocked 46.56 and Rinehart 47.13.
Todorivich had a day. The Bengal sophomore won the 200, 400 and high jump — Helena swept the top four places there — and was second in the long jump.
Hellgate cashed in big in the distances, sweeping the top four places in the 1,600 and placing 2-5 in the 800.
Glacier’s Kai Johnson, consistently in the 39-foot range in the shot put, went way out there Saturday with a mark of 42-1.25.
Meanwhile Lillard gave the Wolfpack boys a boost with a win in the 400 (49.55) and 200 (in 22.62; teammate Evan Barnes was third with a PR of 22.89).
Glacier’s Kash Goicoechea placed second in the 100 and anchored a short relay that set the meet record, clocking 42.17.
Evan Barnes placed second in the 110-meter hurdles (PR of 14.73); Capital swept the hurdles behind Matthew Moreni and Merek Mihelish.
Krause added to Glacier’s success with his win in the discus; his mark of 159-10 led three throws that reached 157 feet. He also PR’d in the shot put while finishing third.
Flathead’s Brody Thornsberry scored big, winning the triple jump (PR of 44-0.5, which sits fourth in AA) and placing second in the long jump, fourth in the 100 and sixth in the 200.
