Track: Glacier boys, Flathead girls lead Western AA

Glacier’s Aiden Krause hit 60 feet in the shot put for the first time and Flathead’s Trevin Olivier hit 14 feet in the pole vault for the fourth straight week Friday, for two of the many highlights at the Western AA Divisional track and field meet.

At the halfway mark of the two-day meet, Glacier narrowly led Flathead in the boys team race after Friday’s events, 51-50. Helena was third at 34.

On the girls side Flathead — getting a 1-2 finish from Alivia Rinehart and Zoey Bortz in the 300 hurdles — had 57 points after the first day to 48 for Glacier. Missoula Hellgate was sitting third at 45.

Krause, already one of the top discus throwers in state history, got another win in the discus with a heave of 60 feet, 10.25 inches. It was a personal record for the second straight week; he threw 59-5 nine days ago and continues to lead Class AA in the event.

He’ll compete in the discus Saturday.

Krause’s teammate Ethan Anderson skimmed through to another 300-meter hurdles win, crossing in 38.66 seconds. His Wolfpack teammate Evan Barnes was third with a PR of 40.57.

Barnes and Anderson helped Glacier win the short relay as well.

Flathead hung close partly because Olivier and teammate Michael Mahar went 1-2 in the pole vault. Mahar was one of five vaulters to clear 13-6.

Rinehart ran her PR, 45.19, while winning the girls 300 hurdles. That time sits No. 2 in AA behind Helena’s Madilyn Todorovich (44.25), who didn’t run the event Friday. Bortz also hit her PR at 46.39, and is fifth in AA.

Glacier’s Kai Johnson won the divisional shot put title at 41-6, a season-best. She’s sitting third in AA.

Easily the most eye-popping park was the long jump of 19-6 by Missoula Sentine’s Ava Kellenberg. That moves her past Helena’s Logan Todorovich (19-0) to the top of the AA rankings. Todorovich holds the state record of 19-4.5, set last May.

Complete results, including trials — Flathead’s Brody Thornsberry ran a PR of 22.15 in his 200 heat — can be found at athletic.net.
