Blackhawks clock in some PRs at Seeley-hosted event, head to Districts next weekend

Even being the day after prom, the Seeley-Swan Blackhawks performed well at the KLH Track and Field Invite in Missoula on Saturday. This meet was hosted by Seeley-Swan High School and was in memory of Coach Mike Haines' father.

Darby Gleason had a "really big" personal record in the shot put event, close to two or three feet more than her usual throws, Haines said. She's been throwing that way in practice, but just not quite during meets, he said.

"We knew she could do that," Haines said.

Both Jalen Kauffman and Derrick Brovold PRed in the discus event, placing seventh and eighth respectively. Kauffman also got a PR in javelin, throwing 125.07 feet.

Cannon Hawkinson came in ninth in the 100-meter and sixth in the 200-meter, PR-ing in both. Lillian Boyd had a season best in the 200-meter race, clocking in at 27.75 seconds.

The Blackhawks will head to District this weekend in Missoula at Big Sky High School and will compete against three different district classifications on Friday and Saturday.
