Lillian Boyd and Kilty Hanson compete in the 4x100 meter relay race. The Lady Blackhawks took about two seconds off their time at this meet.
Lillian Boyd placed second overall in discus and was invited to the Montana Top 10 track and field meet on Tuesday.
The Seeley-Swan track and field athletes took on 27 teams across classes last weekend at the Seeley-Swan High School Invitational. This is the first hosted meet for the Blackhawks, and the second will be the first weekend in May, which is a memorial event for Coach Mike Haines' father, the Kim Haines Memorial Track Meet.
The Blackhawks got 16 personal records last weekend in a fairly challenging field including Cannon Hawkinson's 11.99 seconds in the 100-meter dash and Neveah Wilson in the hurdles and the long jump. The women's 4x100 relay team, which includes Kilty Hanson, Lillian Boyd, Darby Gleason and Laicey Auchenbach, took about two seconds off their time last weekend, finishing fifth overall.
Boyd qualified for the Montana Top 10, which was held on Tuesday. In this event, the top ten athletes in each track and field event across classes in western Montana are invited to compete at Big Sky High School in Missoula.
"That's a pretty big deal," Haines said.
Boyd also placed second at the Seeley-Swan High School Invitational in discus and PRed in the 200-meter dash with a time of 28.27 seconds.
The Blackhawks will compete in Missoula again on Friday night and intend to travel to East Helena on Saturday for their next meet, weather depending.
