Kats have great meet at Polson

Peaking at the right time — that’s how the Columbia Falls track teams are shaping up heading into the divisional tournament this Friday and Saturday.

The girls took a close third at the Polson ABC track meet May 9, and the boys took fifth.

Carla Nicosia and Samantha Mundel continue to lead the Wildkats. Nicosia won the 100 meter hurdles at 16.29 seconds, the 300 hurdles at 49.4 and the triple jump with a 34-7.5 leap.

Mundel won the 1,600 and 3,200 meters with times of 5:13.64 and 11.29.07 respectively. Mundel currently holds the school record in the 800, 1,600 and 3,200 meters.

The Wildcats also had some great performances, with Stephen Lindsey winning the long jump with a leap of 21-1.5, his best mark of his career. Logan Stephens took second at 21-0.5, and Nathan Riley won the triple jump with a 41-11.

“Things went extremely well in Polson,” coach Jamie Heinz said.

The Kats are the odds-on favorite to win the divisional title and have a good shot to bring home a trophy from the state tournament as well, although Corvallis will be tough to knock out of first place.

“It will be a dog fight for second and third,” he said.

In a dual with Glacier High School on May 7, Mundel won the 800 meters at 2:22.64, Nicosia won the 100 hurdles at 16.09, Ashley Caffrey won the pole vault, clearing 9 feet even, and Nicosia won the high jump with a leap of 4-10. The Kats also won the 400 relay with a time of 52.01.

For the Cats, Kyler Burns won the high jump with a leap of 5-10, and Ty Morgan won the javelin with a throw of 166-0. The Cats also won the 1,600 relay at 3:32.91.

The teams travel to Libby on Friday and Saturday for the Northwest Class A divisional tournament.
