Libby still improving as season progresses
The Libby High School track team has been doing well between competitions at home.
Since the Libby Invitational April 13, the Loggers have been breaking records — personal and otherwise — and logging a number of season records as well.
During the Eureka Top 8 Meet April 20, senior Colten Clemons set a personal best while winning the 100 meter dash in 11.75 seconds, and in the same meet he reached 6 feet in the high jump, meeting the state qualification and setting a personal record.
Sophomore Olivia Gilliam-Smith won the 200 meter dash with a personal-record 26.43 seconds.
Seniors Emma Gruber and Isabella Hollingsworth both set season records — and beat the meet record for the Top 8 — in the 300 meter hurdles. Gruber won the race with 49.91 seconds, and Hollingsworth followed close behind with 50.47 seconds.
Gilliam-Smith, Gruber, Hollingsworth and freshman Madison Caruthers won the 4x100 relay in 53.38 seconds.
Junior Keith Johnson cleared 39 feet, 8 inches in the triple jump for first place.
In the pole vault, senior Ethan Beck cleared 11 feet, tying for first place with Columbia Falls’ Russell Albin.
“We had season bests all over the track,” Libby Head Coach Jim May said by email.
At the Glacier Cinco on Thursday, the Loggers were working with sore legs, but competed hard, May said.
The Loggers dominated the high jump, taking the top three spots, with Johnson taking first at 5 feet, 10 inches, Clemons second with 5 feet, 8 inches and sophomore David Patterson taking third with 5 feet, 6 inches.
Johnson also placed first in the triple jump with 38 feet, 9.5 inches.
Senior Ethan Beck had a personal record in the pole vault, tying with Glacier’s Gator Mostek at first place with 12 feet even.
For the Lady Loggers, Hollingsworth took first and Gruber second in the 100 meter hurdles, coming in neck-and-neck at 17.77 seconds and 17.88 seconds, respectively. Hollingsworth also had a season record in the pole vault, taking second place with 7 feet, 6 inches.
Senior Lauren Thorstenson took second place in the 800 meter run with a season record 2:37.42, less than a second behind Glacier’s Kinzie Peterson.
Caruthers also set a personal record in the long jump, reaching 14 feet even. She also had a personal record in the triple jump, with 28 feet, 8 inches.
Libby will have their final home meet today at 4 p.m. at Logger Stadium, when they host the Lincoln County Meet.
