COLUMBIA FALLS — Whitefish senior Carson Krack set a personal record while winning the 400, teammates Simon Douglas, Azure Stolte and Carson Gulick also won events and the Bulldogs squeaked out the boys’ title at the Iceberg Invitational Saturday.

Douglas won the 800 and Gulick and Stolte each won a hurdles race for the Bulldogs, who scored 73 points to 72 for host Columbia Falls.

Columbia Falls switched places with Whitefish in the girls team race, outpointing the Bulldogs 91-76.

Krack sped through the 400 in 51.75 seconds, which is in the top five in Class A. Stolte’s time of 43.76 in the 300 hurdles was also a personal best. Gulick was second in the 300s as well.

Columbia Falls won five events, including a sweep of the 100 and 200 by Malaki Simpson. He ran the 200 in a season-best 22.99 seconds. Lane Voermans won the discus and was second in the shot put for the Wildcats; teammate Oliver Kress won the pole vault — clearing 11 feet and beating Whitefish’s Cameron Diehl and Libby’s Greysen Thompson on criteria — and C-Falls also won the short relay.

Browning’s River Racine won the 3,200, and Libby’s Tristan Andersen took the javelin. Polson’s Astin Brown threw 54-4, a PR, to win the shot put.

On the girls’ side, Soli Bullemer won the pole vault and triple jump for Columbia Falls. Her mark of 35-5.5 in the triple is a PR and best in Class A. She continues to sit in the top five in A for the vault.

Teammate Ellie Stutsman set a PR while winning the javelin, at 107-3.

Whitefish’s Hailey Ells won the 400 in 1:01.87 and the 100 hurdles in 16.42, and also cleared 5-0 to win the high jump on criteria. Ells’ time in the hurdles sits third in Class A; teammates Bailey Smith (34-4) and Norah Schmidt (34-2) both had top-six triple jumps as well.

Frenchtown freshman Blake Hardy swept the 100 and 200, and the Broncs swept both relays.

Libby’s Capri Farmer was second in the 1,600 and 3,200; Sunburst’s Nikki Nau won both races.
