Three qualify for state in first two track meets for Cats

The Columbia Falls track teams got their first taste of competition last week as the Cats and Kats traveled to Kalispell for the Mini-Invitational Tuesday before heading to Missoula Saturday for the MCPS Invitational.

Three Columbia Falls athletes already punched their ticket to the state track meet last week as Ben Windauer has qualified in pole vault, Tallia Sova in the shot put and Anjellica Street in the javelin and discus.

Both teams had a strong first meet of the season in Kalispell Tuesday as the Kats finished in the top eight in six events while the Cats did the same in nine events.

“I am really excited from what I saw last week and I hope we can just keep building on that as we move forward,” head coach Jamie Heinz said.

Street and Sova led the way for the Kats as Street won the discus with a toss of 125 feet, 7 inches while Sova was third at 105 feet, 7 inches. The pair also dominated the shot put, where Sova was first with a toss of 38 feet, 1 inch and Street was fourth at 32 feet, 5 inches.

Street won the javelin and qualified for state at Missoula Saturday with a toss of 136 feet, 9 inches, the best throw by far in all of Class A so far this season.

“There is usually a big jump between the freshman and sophomore years, especially for throwers, and that has been true for Angellica,” Heinz said. “I look for her to just keep getting better over the next two years. She has the potential to be one of the top javelin throwers in the nation. Most of that credit goes to our throwing coach, Mike Lyngstad.”

The Cats dominated the pole vault competition at Kalispell as Ben Windauer was first at 13 feet while Austin Green cleared 12 feet, 6 inches to finish second. In javelin, Logan Kolodejchuk was second at 170 feet, 8 inches while Tanner Grove was fourth and Drew Morgan finished fifth.
