Bulldogs host A.R.M. invitational meet
The 11th annual A.R.M. (Achey, Rosenberg, Murphy) Invitational track meet drew 16 teams from around the state to Whitefish High School on Saturday.
The weather was perfect for track and field events, except for a slight breeze that seemed to pick up right before the discus throw.
The Whitefish girls took third place with 61 points behind Polson with 92 and Glacier with 140.
Loni Hanson claimed her second-straight victory at the meet in the 3,200 with a time of 12:44;55. Eleven other varsity girls placed in their individual events to help the Lady Bulldogs.
The 4-by-400 relay team consisting of Heather Melcer, Carly Schwickert, Amanda Foley and Becca Strellnauer placed second with a time of 4:19.22.
The Whitefish boys took fourth place with 53 points behind Plains at 55, Columbia Falls with 71.5 and Glacier at 106.
Aaron Tkachyk won the long jump with a 21-02.75, and Anto Daoud placed second in the 400-meter dash with a time of 52.30. Three other varsity boys placed in their individual events.
Drew Coco, the defending 1,600-meter run state champion, was out due to sickness, and defending state high-jump champion Colt Idol was missing from action.
