Blackhawks travel to two rainy races

The Blackhawks took on two consecutive rainy and cold meets last weekend. Friday was at Big Sky High School in Missoula and Saturday was at the East Helena Invitational.

Coach Mike Haines said this was the first time the athletes ran in back-to-back events this season. But that's what the teams will be facing at District next weekend.

This weekend the Seeley-Swan track and fielders will participate in the KLH Memorial Meet, the meet in memory of Coach Haines' father - former Seeley-Swan High School principal and track coach - who passed away in 2013.

Blackhawks still have the chance to qualify for State at the KLH meet and during both District and Divisionals the following weekends. If runners make the top five at District or top six at Divisionals, they advance to State. Additionally, they can hit their respective qualifying marks across different events to get to the final competition.
