We've Got The County Covered
Chinook junior Braxton Inman runs the 400 Meter Dash. Inman has performed very well on the track this spring in the sprints.
Sophomore Jackson Nordboe has made plenty of progress in the Shot Put, Saturday in Choteau he set a personal in the event with a throw of 36'2.5"
Harlem sophomore Luna Hammerschmid competes in the Long Jump Saturday in Choteau. Luna is a Foreign Exchange student and hails from Vienna Austria.
All four Blaine County teams were able to compete on the Track and in the Field this past week. Turner and Hays/Lodge Pole were in Whitewater on Thursday. Saturday the Chinook Sugarbeeters joined the Harlem Wildcats in Choteau for the Acantha Invitational.
The Whitewater meet had a few more teams than normal with the Havre Blue Ponies joining the mix as teams looked to add meets to make up for cancellations.
The Tornadoes were paced on the day by a solid effort from sophomore Ryan Doyle who garnered a pair of third place finishes on the day. Doyle was third in the 400 Meter run as well as the 800 Meter run and ran a leg on the Tornado 4x400 Meter relay team that finished fourth. Sophomore Trent Billmayer added a third place finish for the Tornadoes in the 1,600 Meter Run.
The Sugarbeeters and Wildcats both faced the cold and wind all day long in Choteau as teams looked to perform at a high level. Sprinters were able to take advantage of the wind as it was in their favor but otherwise it proved miserable. "We took 25 kids to Choteau this past Saturday. While the conditions weren't that great we had quite a few placers and personal records," stated Wildcat Head Coach Kim Faulkinberry.
Chinook Head Coach Kendall Harwood shared similar thoughts, "The Choteau weather took a toll on some times and distances. But we still had quite a few improvements across the board. Our sprinters all got season bests in the 100 Meters using the wind to their advantage."
Chinook junior Anna Terry turned in a first place effort in the 3,200 Meter Run with a time of 13:45.51. "Our distance runners ran great getting us points in every distance race. Anna Terry ran a solid 3,200 Meters, taking the blue ribbon," added Harwood. The Chinook throwers all did very well, "Our throwers all set personal bests for the most part," said Harwood.
With the season at the midway point Harwood likes where his team is, "I am seeing our underclassmen stepping up and taking leadership roles on the team. We have a hard working crew who are some of the most coachable kids I have had the pleasure of working with. We have a few more adjustments to make the team optimized for districts, but I think we're on the right track."
The Cal Wearley was rescheduled for April 26 (Tuesday), full results will be in next weeks paper. Faulkinberry sized up the Wearley heading into the meet, "Tuesday we will go to Havre for Cal Wearley which is going to be a huge meet. They are anticipating more than 500 kids. So it will be a competitive but fun day."
