GMS Track and Field Nearing Half-Way Point of Season,

The Glasgow Middle School track program is nearing the half-way point of its short season and is hosting its invitational meet this Thursday, April 18, at the Glasgow High School track. Field events get underway at 9 a.m. with running events scheduled to start at 9:30 a.m. Most Class B and Class C schools from the region plan to compete.

The public is welcome and encouraged to come out to watch the junior Scotties. Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for senior citizens and youth.

The Glasgow Middle School team, which includes sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-graders, has competed at just two meets so far this season, the Sidney Invitational on April 6 and April 12 at the Wolf Point Invitational. At Wolf Point, Glasgow's eighth and combined sixth/seventh grade boys teams both won their divisions, topping teams from across Northeastern Montana. The eighth-grade girls finished in third place as a team, and the combined sixth/ seventh Scottie girls finished in fifth place.

The Wolf Point meet featured numerous standout performances, as well as a number of multiple medalists. Tatum Hansen took first in the 200m dash, 100m hurdles, and 200m hurdles. Sixth-grader Wyatt Babb won both the long jump and the high jump. He went out with a knee injury on the high jump after clearing the winning height of five feet. Beau Malnaa won the eighth-grade boys high jump.

On the girls side, Kira Beck won the eighth-grade 400m.
