Libby, Troy track teams have strong start to season
The Libby and Troy high school track and field teams progressed through their first competitions of the year on Saturday and Tuesday.
Libby’s Olivia Gilliam-Smith qualified for State in the long jump at the Eureka Invitational Saturday, according to Libby Head Coach Jim May.
Overall, it was an excellent meet to start the season, he said by email. “Our new kids got some great experience and we had a few surprises from them.”
In addition, many of Libby’s returning athletes are already way ahead of where they were last season, he said.
At the Kalispell Time Trial Invite on Tuesday, May said by email that the meet tested the Loggers’ competition level with some of the other schools in their division.
“The weather was brutal, but we had some excellent competition,” he said.
The Trojans had a good showing in Eureka as well.
Senior Hunter Leighty took first place in the 100 meter dash with a time of 11.56, a personal best.
Troy junior Ella Pierce also took first in the high jump at 4 foot 6 inches, only 2 inches short of her personal best.
