Teams finding their stride and hitting their marks as they prepare for their District Meets

Teams are prepping this week for the District 9C Meet in Havre next Wednesday and the District 2B Meet on Saturday, May 11 in Wolf Point.

In their final week of preparation, the Chinook Sugarbeeters, Harlem Wildcats and Hays/Lodge Pole Thunderbirds were in Malta on Thursday.

Saturday the Sugarbeeters traveled to Great Falls to take part in the Belt/Fairfield Invitational at Memorial Stadium while the Harlem Wildcats were in Lewistown at the Fergus Invitational.

In Malta the Chinook, Harlem and Turner girls did very well. Harlem junior L'Tia Lawrence won both the 1,600 Meter and 3,200 Meter races. Lawrence has already qualified for the State B in both of those events.

Chinook senior Megan Molyneaux has qualified for the 100 Meter Dash and won that event as well as the 200 Meter Dash in Malta. Chinook senior Kourtney Hanson also won the 800 Meter race for the Sugarbeeters.

Hanson also earned a second place finish in the 400 Meter dash and senior Rachel Gunderson was second in the Javelin. The 'Beeters 4x100 Meter Relay team of Hanson, Molyneaux, senior Lincy Johnson and freshman Anna Morrow also finished second.

Turner junior Sarah Billmayer earned a second place finish in the Triple Jump for the Tornadoes.

In Great Falls Saturday at the Belt/Fairfield Invitational, Molyneaux again won the 200 Meter dash and was second in the 100 Meter Dash.

On the boys side, three Blaine County athletes were champions in Malta.

Harlem junior Brad Cichosz was the winner of the 3,200 Meter race while also earning a runner up finish in the 1,600 Meter Run.

Turner senior Cody Welsh swept the hurdle races winning both the 110 Meter High Hurdles and the 200 Meter Hurdles.
