The Libby Loggers track and field team had three medalists at the Montana Class A Championships at the Laurel Sports Complex.
But just getting there was a much of a challenge as their respective opponents. Loggers head coach Josh Bean lauded his bus drivers - Pat Gragert and Rich Cloyed - for getting the team where it needed to be and home.
"The trip was unbelievable," Bean said. We left Wednesday, stayed in Butte, then were delayed for several hours Thursday morning because the pass was blocked because of the snow and wrecks. Later, we were rerouted through Columbus before getting back on I-90."
