Kats win Iceberg Invite

The Columbia Falls girls track team won the Iceberg Invitational April 18 at home. The Wildkats outpaced the Whitefish Lady Bulldogs by 20 points for the win. The Wildcats took second, edged by the Bulldogs by just four points, 145-141.

Samantha Mundel won the 1,600 and 3,200-meter races at 5:19 and 11:32 respectively. She shaved about 6 seconds off her 1,600 meter times earlier this season.

Carla Nicosia won the 100 hurdles, but the girls had to run the race twice after some timing equipment failed. She posted a 16.26. Nicosia also won the triple jump with a 35-6.5 leap.

On the boys side, Tanner Dana, a transfer from Flathead, won the 200 with a time of 23.07 and the 400 with a 52.95. His 200 time qualifies him for state by 0.33 of a second, but he still needs to shave off about a second from his 400 time to qualify in that event.

The meet didn’t exactly live up to its iceberg billing. While it was cool, it was also sunny. Previous meets have featured snow, rain, wind or all three all at once.

At Corvallis on April 16, both teams finished third.

Mundel won the 800 in 2:23.80 and Nicosia had a blistering time in the 100 hurdles at 15.94. Dana won the 200 at 23.28.

The teams competed in the top 10 meet in Missoula on Tuesday after presstime and will travel to Whitefish on Saturday for the Whitefish A.R.M. meet.
