Libby sophomore Jay Beagle placed first in the 400 meter dash with a personal best time of 50.41 seconds. He also won the javelin, throwing for 133 feet, 2 inches.
For Troy, senior Hunter Leighty had the most successful day. Though he added about 3/4 of a second to his 400 meter dash time over this best so far, he dropped his time in the 200 meter dash by about 1/4, setting a new personal best at 23.24 seconds.
Leighty took third place in the 100 meter, 200 meter and 400 meter dashes.

In the shot put, Troy senior Tyler Gromley threw a new personal best, reaching 36 feet, 11 inches. He also had a new personal best in the discuss, hitting 99 feet, 8.5 inches.
Troy junior Ella Pierce, who has been battling with a knee injury was the only Lady Trojan who made it onto the results from the event, reaching 4 feet, 7 inches in the high jump, an inch short of her personal best.
Libby junior John Cheroske set a personal best in the 800 meter run, finishing in 2:05.04, and senior Will O’Connell had personal bests in both the 1,600 meter run and the 3,200 meter run -- as did freshman teammate Dawson Rose in the 3,200 meter run.
