High marks hit at Kalispell Time Trials

The annual Kalispell Time Trials took place Tuesday at Legends Stadium, and out of a cast of 100s several nice marks were penned.

Flathead’s Ben Bliven and Brody Thornsberry ran 1-2 in the boys 100 meters, for example, and while Bliven didn’t catch his best time of the year — 10.91 seconds on Thursday — Thornsberry did, running 11.07. That sits No. 4 in Montana in this early part of the track and field season, and the senior also won the triple jump Tuesday.

Bliven, meanwhile, moved into the top six regardless of class in the long jump with a leap of 21-9.75 — while Whitefish’s Carson Krack took over the No. 2 spot at 22-7.

The unscored meet drew eight teams from within and around the Flathead Valley, and Glacier had its usual strong showing. Henry Sellards won the shot put with the fourth-best mark in the state of 53 feet, one inch (Collumbia Falls’ Lane Voermans was right behind at 52-4, and also had a top-six discus heave of 150-8).

The Wolfpack’s Aiden Krause got the discus to go 172-1, his best thus far in 2024 and No. 2 in the state behind Hamilton’s Andrew Burrows (175-2).

Bigfork’s Jack Jensen ran the fastest Class A time — and third best in the state — in the 800 at 1:59.24.

Flathead swept the boys relays and ran the fastest 400-meter relay thus far: 42.85, and the Braves’ Jacob Dolezal won both the 110-meter hurdles and the high jump.

The girls had 20 marks that pushed them into the state’s best. That includes a time of 46.86 by Flathead’s Alivia Rinehart in the 300 hurdles. Rinehart ranks No. 2 in the state there; her win completed a hurdles sweep.

The Bravettes’ had a very nice day: Kennedy Moore cleared 5-5 to win the high jump and take over the state’s top mark regardless of class. Teammate Afton Wride won the long and triple jump as well, both with top 10 marks.

Kai Johnson won the discus and shot put, and her mark of 40-3 in the shot sits second in the state and first in AA.
