lone track members qualify for state
Five lone girls and
six boys qualified for the
state track meet at last week
end's Big Sky District meet
in Moro. In a season where
w ind and chill w ere the
norm , the C ardinals took
advantage o f a near-perfect
track day to advance their
state qualifiers and record
a number o f personal bests.
The top two placers in each
event automatically qualify
for the State 1A track meet,
set for next Friday and Sat
urday in Monmouth.
Senior Kylee Svetich
had a strong day advancing
to state in the triple jump,
200 meters and the 4X100
relay. A hiccup in her plans
came when she flinched at
the start of the 100, causing
her to be disqualified from
that event where she was
sitting second in the district.
However she was able to
channel her disappointment
into a strong run in the 200
where she finished second
and set a new PR (28.31.)
“ F alse-starting made me
want to do better," she said.
“It's my senior year and I re
ally wanted to finish strong.”
She also recorded a PR in
the triple jump (32-2) where
she placed second behind
Kaitlyn Muller of Helix.
F r e s h m a n B e th
Morter was the only indi
vidual district cham pion,
winning the 1500 in 5:46.48.
She was also a surprising
second in the long jum p
where she jumped 14'8.5.”

4X100 team, consisting of
Sarah Stillman, Tiana Ca
marillo, Kaylee Palmateer
and Kylee Svetich advance
to state after finishing sec
ond in 54.21.
On the boy’s side,
the 4 X 400 team ran one
o f the best races of the day,
coming from behind to win
the race in 3:45.02, a nine
second improvement over
th e ir season best. Team
members are Matt Hams,
Justin Archer, Clay Morter
and Cory Peterson.
Individually, Junior
Clay Morter cleared 6 ’0 in
the high jump to take second
place behind current state
leader, Asa Miller o f Spray,
who cleared 6 ’5.” This is
M orter’s third trip to state
in the high jum p. Senior
Paul Hams will also return
to state in his specialty, the
javelin. Hams threw 159’0
to place second behind de
fending state cham pion.
