The Blaine County Journal News-Opinion - We've Got The County Covered

Teams are ready to make the push to their respective state track and field meets later this month as they head to the District 2B and 9C meets this week.

The Harlem Wildcats will be in Wolf Point this Saturday to compete in the District 2B meet. The Sugarbeeters, Thunderbirds and Tornadoes will compete at the District 9C today, Wednesday, May 8, at the Havre Middle School Track.

Teams were in Glasgow for the North/East Top 10 which features the 10 best individuals in each event, to include athletes from the Class A, B and C ranks.

There were several local athletes that shined at this premier event. Harlem junior standout L'Tia Lawrence continued her dominance of the distance races.

Lawrence has been at the top of her game all season and has crushed the field each time she has competed. At the Top 10 Lawrence won both the 1,600 Meter and 3,200 Meter races easily.

In the 3,200 she completed the eight laps in 11:25.78 to win the event. The second place finisher crossed the line 1:21.08 later. Statewide, Lawrence leads all Class B runners by more that 15 seconds and has the ninth fastest time of all girls in the state.

In the 1,600 Meter race, Lawrence again dominated the field, winning with a time of 5:16.65.

Chinook senior Megan Molyneaux has also punched her ticket to the State C Track and Field Meet. Molyneaux previously qualified in the 100 Meter Dash and Tuesday in Glasgow she finished third with a time of 13.13.

Molyneaux won the 200 Meter Dash at the North/East Top 10, crossing the finish line in :26.89, just four hundredths of a second on the qualifying standard.

Turner senior Cody Welsh is the defending Class C 300 Meter Hurdle champion and looks to be in position to defend his title after winning the event in Glasgow Tuesday afternoon. Welsh won the event with a time of :42.49.

Welsh turned in a solid effort in the 110 Meter High Hurdles as well, finishing third with a time of :16.83.

Harlem junior Brad Cichosz has performed very well for the Wildcats in the distance races. In Glasgow he finished second in the 1,600 Meter race with a four lap time of 4:43.41. Cichosz also finished seventh in the 3,200 Meter Run.

Chinook senior Kourtney Hanson has done very well for the Sugarbeeters in both the 400 and 800 Meter races. Tuesday, she ran just the 800 Meter race and turned in a third place effort with a time of 2:30.76.

'Beeter senior, Trajan Hannum, and Turner junior, Jack Harmon have been neck and neck all season long in the 800 Meter Dash with a couple photo finishes thus far this season.

At the North/East Top 10 it was Hannum crossing the finish line in third place with a time of 2:09.10. Harmon was right on his heals, finishing fourth with a time of 2:10.31.

Turner junior Sarah Billmayer had a solid showing in the field for the Tornadoes. Billmayer picked up a pair of fourth place finishes in the jumps. In the Long Jump she recorded a mark of 15'3.75" and in the Triple Jump she hopped, skipped and jumped 31'9.5".

Chinook sophomore Jayden Miller was eighth in the Discus with a flip of 98'5". Senior Rachel Gunderson finished 10th with a mark of 89'8". Gunderson also picked up an eighth place finish in the Javelin with a throw of 106'6".

The Chinook short and long relay teams also competed at the Top 10, finishing eighth in both events. The team included Molyneaux, Hanson, senior Lincy Johnson and freshman Anna Morrow.

'Beeter senior Cord Schneider finished sixth in the Shot Put, recording a distance of 43;11.75"
