Weltz wins state triple jump title
BUTTE – Polson senior Andrew Weltz capped off a senior year in which he earned all-conference honors for the Pirates’ football and basketball teams with an even bigger feat: he won the Class A triple jump.
Weltz’ victory was the only gold for Polson at the weekend’s state meet in Butte, but the Pirates from a number of sources.
Sophomore Jacob Clairmont—who qualified for state in all five of his events—was fourth in the long jump and sixth in both hurdles events. Clairmont was 14th in the triple jump and 15th in the pole vault.
Austin Corrigan also scored for Polson, placing sixth in the discus. Corrigan, a senior, placed 12th in the pole vault as well.
Jared Rubel narrowly missed points in the pole vault, finishing tied for seventh, and Joe Gallatin was 10th in the discus for Polson.
The boys’ relays were eighth and 10th in the 400 and mile, respectively.
Claudia Hewston and Mariah Corrigan led the way for Polson’s girls, both placing fourth. Hewston’s fourth in the 800 was followed by a ninth-place finish in the mile. Corrigan earned her points in the javelin.
Madisen Wheeler also scored points for Polson’s girls with a sixth-place run in the 300 hurdles. Chadelle Smith was ninth in that same event.
The girls’ long relay was sixth as well. The short relay finished eighth.
Freshmen Tiara Duford and Anna Young placed ninth in the 400 and the two-mile races, respectively. Kidron Lee was seventh in the high jump, and Gracie Carlyle placed seventh in the long jump.
