PHS's Frissell repeats as Class A state X-C champion

Polson High School cross country senior Beatrix Frissell captured her second consecutive Montana High School Association Class A cross country championship to cap her X-C running career at Polson.

Frissell, who has entertained multiple offers from colleges for both her academic and athletic achievements, has probably added several collegiate programs with her 19 minute, 2.57 second performance last Saturday afternoon at the University of Montana Golf Course in Missoula.

Frissell edged Brynnli Poulsen, of Hamilton, by nearly 21 seconds to capture an MHSA first-place title. A close third was Khylah Two Leggins, who finished with a time of 19:32.15.

One of the main catalysts to lead the Lady Pirates to a second-place finish as a team in the state meet, Frissell wasn’t alone in Polson’s effort to place fifth in the MHSA Class A meet.

Lady Pirates runner Molly Sitter finished 13th by recording a time of 20:22.73. Lady Pirate Gwen Seeley finished 51st with a time of 22:29.31.

Other Lady Pirate performers were Halle Heninger, who finished 54th and recorded a time of 22:32.73; River Shoemaker, also 61st (23:1.68); and Julie Reiners. She finished just under a sub-25-minute performance, recording a time of 24:48.73.

Maidens turn in stellar performance

Over the past couple of years, Ronan’s Noelle Weinbrenner has been in the process of rebuilding the Maidens’ cross country program.

Ronan has taken yet another step in that direction with their performance at the Montana High School Association Class A cross country meet.

Kaona Trahan of Ronan finished 55th in the state meet recording a time of 22 minutes, 37.88 seconds.

Out of 136 runners, Lanissa Mahkuk finished 104th (24:59.37); Kinsley Barney, 119th (26:05.29); and Megan Griffin 35th (30:48.06).
