MT43 News Sports Reporter
The Southern Division of Class B schools held their divisional track meet in Laurel last Thursday, May 15th. Since the Southern division is comprised of three districts (3B, 4B & 5B), the top eight athletes from each event advance to the state meet held in Missoula on May 23rd and 24th.
The Broadwater Lady Bulldogs brought home the 2nd place team trophy by scoring 75 points.
Sophomore Kyla Meissner won both the 800- and 1600-meter runs and is qualified to compete in the 3200-meter run, as well.
Junior Kaitlyn Noyes won the long jump and placed 2nd in the high jump, 3rd in the triple jump, 5th in the 200-meter dash, and 9th in the 100-meter dash. She will be competing in all five events at state, as she established state-qualifying time/distances in all five earlier this year.
Junior Holly Newman won the 110-meter hurdles and placed 4th in the long jump, 5th in the high jump and 6th in the 300-meter hurdles. Aspen Slyker earned spots at both distances of hurdles, as well as running legs on both relays.
Also advancing are Kaelyn Sangray, Memphys Meier, Elaine MacDonald and Jazlyn Martin competing in the 3200-meter run, 800-meter run, 400-meter dash, and discus, respectively.
The Boy’s Varsity team placed 10th with 18 points.
Sophomore Jim Tew placed 2nd in the 100-meter hurdles and 7th in the long jump. He is qualified in the triple jump and is also a member of the short relay, which proceeds to state.
Senior Nolan Flynn finished 3rd in the 1600-meter run to advance and will also be running the 3200-meter run.
Sophomore Tavyn Anderson placed 4th in the triple jump, as well as a pair of 8th-place finishes in both hurdle races.
