Libby junior Hailey Misner won three events and sophomore Capri Farmer claimed two while setting two new meet records Tuesday at the Lincoln County Meet in Libby.

Eureka had just a bit more depth as the Lady Lions won the team title with 81 points to Libby’s 70. Troy had 22.

Farmer won the 1,600 in 5:20.82 and the 3,200 in 11:26.30. Elizabeth Roodell ran the 1,600 in 5:23.99 in 1994; Roodell set the County 3,200 record of 11:38.23 in 1996.

The other record was set by Eureka senior Kricket Bridges after she cleared nine feet. Karli Campbell of Eureka set the standard of 8-9 in 2024. Bridges also placed second in the 100 and 200 dashes. 

Misner swept the girls sprints and set a personal record in the 100 at 12.91. That mark currently sits sixth in Class A. 

Loggers freshman Ava Jensen won the 800 run and was third in the 1,600. Sophomore Evalyn Cliff won the 300 hurdles and took second in the 100 hurdles.

Eureka’s Gabriele Wells won the shot put and discus and Troy’s Aspen Orr, a freshman, swept the long and triple jumps. Orr was second in the 400.

Libby sophomore Alyssa Andersen won the javelin and was second in the long jump while sophomore Krisign Huff was second in the shot and third in the discus.

The teams return to action Saturday at the Archie Roe Invitational in Kalispell.
