Conditions weren’t optimal for running fast times at Legends Stadium, where host Flathead ran a time trials meet Tuesday: Runners had to contend with a bracing head wind on the straightaway.

Less affected was Bigfork high jumper Wyatt Duke, a senior who cleared 6 feet, 8 inches in a cross wind.

It was the outstanding mark of the unscored meet, though Whitefish hurdler Hailey Ells clocked 48.39 seconds through the girls 300s. It was a slight surprise for Duke, though he had cleared 6-8 before.

“In practice,” he noted. “Late in July last year, we had two weeks where we practiced because we didn’t have a season because of COVID. Before we put the mats up, we put the bar up at 6-8 and I cleared that — and then we decided to call it good until the season.

“And now, here we are.”

Duke, who cleared 6-6 to finish second at the 2019 State B meet, had issues getting past 6-2 Tuesday, needing three attempts.

“And the bar fell off (on the third attempt),” he added. “I think I was off the mat before the bar fell, which I think is … some kind of rule? Then we put it up at 6-4, cleared that first try; 6-6, I think I cleared that first try or second try. Then I got 6-8 my first try.”

He then missed three times at 6-10.

“I wanted to go up to 6-9, but my coach (Jim Epperly) said, ‘Nope, 6-10,’” Duke said. “I love him. Without him I wouldn’t be jumping 6-8, that’s for sure.”

Duke, who’s drawn interest from MSU-Billings’ track and field program, also won the 110-meter hurdles in — through that head wind — 17.86 seconds. His teammate Wyatt Johnson won the 300 hurdles in 45.35.

Another Bigfork athlete, Cormac Benn, won twice: in the 200 and the long jump. Benn went 20-8.25 in the latter. In all the Vikings won nine of 17 events, including the short relay.

There were two double-winners among the girls, both from Flathead: Tessa Smith in the high and triple jumps and Rebecca Eacker in the discus and shot put.

Flathead swept the relays and went 1-2 in a photo-finish at 3,200 meters. Lilli Rumsey Eash crossed in 11.48.50, and Hannah Perrin was .08 behind. Perrin won the 1,600 in 5:22.53.

Whitefish speedster Mikenna Ells passed on the 400 and ran the 800, finishing second to the Bravettes’ Tori Noland-Gillespie, who clocked 2:32.04.

In all, Flathead girls won 14 of 17 events. Whitefish had wins from Brooke Zetooney in the 200, Hailey Ells — she edged Flathead’s Skye Thompson in the 300 hurdles — and Erin Wilde in the long jump.
