The Scobey High School girls' varsity track and field team captured the District 3C Meet championship but it was by no means a large margin victory.

Just the opposite. The Lady Spartans edged the Saco Panthers 122.5-to-118 points to claim the first-place trophy Satur day, May 11, in Wolf Point. The Scobey girls had five personal records (PR) established in the meet while neighboring Lustre Christian had eight.

It was just the opposite on the boys’ side as the Lustre Christian Lions outdistanced the Scobey Spartans 163-to-106 for the top team prize. The Lions racked up 22 PRs while the boys donning blue and gold had 13.

There were five District 3C Meet records broken by girls, including both of Scobey’s relay teams, Scobey’s Mia Handran in the 800-meter run, Saco’s Josie Brown in the 400-meter dash and Whitewater’s Paige Wasson in the javelin. On the boys’ side, two 3C Meet records were re-written: Lustre Christian’s Johnslee Pierre in the 300-meter hurdles and Circle’s Donovan Gibbs in the triple jump (see the results section of this article for the new-record times and distances).

Next stop is the same track and same field for the East C Divisional Meet at Lowry Field in Wolf Point, which will be held in conjunction with the East B Divisional Meet Thursday, May 16.

The first event off the starting line is the Class C girls 3,200-meter run at 9 a.m., with the Class B girls chucking the javelin at the same time. The initial event for the Class C boys is the 3,200-meter run set for 9:40 a.m. while the first Class B boys event is the discus, also starting at 9:40.

Scheduled as the final event for both Class C and Class B is the 1,600-meter relay: C girls at 5:30 p.m., B girls 5:45 p.m.; C boys 6 p.m.; B boys 6:15 p.m.

Tucked in between are 32 other Class C and B events.

Here are the results from the District 3C Meet, including all the first-place finish ers and of athletes from Scobey and Lustre Christian:
