After much delay, the 2018 track and field season got into full swing. Teams from around the state competed, with plenty of state meet qualifying times hit.
Each classification now uses qualifying standards (which are included in parentheses next to each class in each event below) that give athletes an opportunity during the regular season to secure berths at their respective state tournaments. Athletes can still qualify for their state meets at their divisional meets, but that’s not a necessity. If athletes hit a qualifying standard at any point during the season, they’re guaranteed a spot at the state meet, regardless of their performance at the divisional meet.
A handful of Class B sprinters posted qualifying times. Fairfield’s Dawson Allen, Huntley Project’s Austin Hernandez and Lane Sumner, Manhattan’s Tracer Stone, and Forsyth’s Cade Johnstone all qualified in the 100-meter dash. Johnstone also qualified in the 400-meter dash. Hernandez set a Class B best time in the 200-meter dash as well.
Billings Senior’s Gabe Sulser ran a new state-best time in the 110-meter hurdles posting a 14.46 and breaking the meet record at the Billings Invite in the process.
The girls 800-meter run saw a number of additions. Annie Hill, the Class AA defending champion in the 800, 1,600, and 3,200, set the top Class AA time, running 2:13.96. Hill also owns the top 1,600 time in Class AA. Billings Senior’s Tiahna Vladic was another of the qualifiers in the 800 and is now qualified in all three distance races.
Billings Skyview’s Breanne Fuller set new state-best times in the girls 100, while also qualifying in the 200.
The full lists of state-qualified athletes are below. These lists, while unofficial, are updated through the official results posted at www.athletic.net through April 16. If you notice an error or omission, please email sports@ktvh.com.
