MISSOULA – A long-lasting winter has hampered much of western Montana’s track and field stars, but they were able to shine under the sun at the 20th annual Russ Pilcher Top 10 Meet at Missoula County Stadium on Tuesday.
Only the top 10 performers from this season in an area stretching from Kalispell to Helena to Dillon and everywhere in between received an invite to the prestigious event. The gathering of standouts broke three meet records and set the best marks seen in the state this year in five other events.
Kalispell Glacier senior Annie Hill broke the Top 10 record in the 3,200 meters with a time of 10 minutes, 38.08 seconds. Missoula Sentinel standout sophomore Lauren Heggen made a new record in the girls triple jump with a leap of 38 feet, 10 1/2 inches. And Helena Capital senior Justin Jenks broke the record in the shot put, with a 58-04 heave.
Tuesday marked the first time the Top 10 meet has run on the new track surface in Missoula, and it proved a great place to put up fast times. Heggen started the day with a time of 14.92 seconds in the 100 hurdles, becoming the first Montana girl to break 15 seconds this season. Later, Missoula Big Sky’s Joylynn Glidewell also posted the best girls 300 hurdles time of the year when the Eagles’ sophomore crossed the line in 46.34 seconds.
Both 1,600-meter races saw the fastest times by Montana runners in 2018. Missoula Hellgate’s Isaac Schmidt sprinted across the line in 4:18.02, just six tenths of a second short of the meet record he was gunning for. Bigfork’s Bryn Morley blew away the all-star field to finish in 4:50.05, the first Montana girl to break the five-minute mark this season.
Kalispell Glacier’s boys also put together an impressive 400-meter relay. Ethan Larson’s anchor leg finished in 42.97 seconds, the best time in Montana this spring by nearly half a second.
Results from the Russ Pilcher Top 10 Meet are below.
