Supermen wear red and blue, and it turns out, superwomen do too.

Splashing their red and blue school colors all over the place like they owned it at MCPS in Missoula last week, the Superior Bobcat track and field teams swept to the District 14C boy and girls championships.

Superior won the 14C boys title with 132 points, Charlo (126) was second and Hot Springs (92) third. Superior thoroughly dominated the girls meet registering 152 points to win easily, Hot Springs was a distant second with 113 and Charlo third with 96.

Armed with large squads of athletes eager for more on both sides, coach Logan Labbe will take his boys and girls into the Western C divisional meet, again in Missoula this week, looking for additional team metal of a more significant kind for the Superior trophy case.

“We are looking forward to divisional,” Labbe said. “We are looking to have to have a good week of practice to get everyone to state, and there is a lot of potential for a big group heading to Laurel.”

That potentially very big super group heading for Laurel, where the State C meet will be held May 29-30, will be headed up by the best high jumper in the Montana high school ranks this season junior Landon Richards. And Richards is not just a one-trick Bobcat, he does several other track and field duties quite well for Superior.

Richards matched his career best, state-leading effort of 6-8 to win the 14C high jump title, in addition to winning both hurdles races – claiming the 110s in 16.17 seconds and the 300s in a personal best time of 42.27 seconds – and running a leg on both winning relays.

In the girls 14C meet, super Superior sophomore Ava White was her productive self, winning the 100 and 300 meter hurdles races in dominating fashion as well as winning the 200 meters in a personal best time (27.21 seconds), anchoring the winning 1600 meter relay and winning second in the pole vault.

The Lady Cats’ 14C domination was perhaps most clearly on display in the 300 meter hurdles where, behind White, Penelope (fourth), Nichole Shope (fifth) and Liliana Rudolph (sixth) gave Superior four of the six placing spots in that event alone.

Senior Superior track star Maryisa Swope also took care of her events in typical fashion, collecting 14C crowns in the javelin (as expected based on previous marks) and pole vault (matching the height of 9-0 with teammate Ava White but winning on fewer misses).

Other super Superior girls’ efforts at the 14C meet include Karissa Pearce winning the 800 and Olivia White claiming the 1600, Lily Jasper earning placing points in four events (second in the triple jump, third in the long jump and fifth in the pole vault and in the 400 meters), Madi Allard winning third in the 400 and fifth in the triple jump, Penelope White also taking fifth in the 100 hurdles and sixth in the triple jump, and Miekolani Ruthford winning second in the high jump.

Jasper, Allard and Pearce joined Ava White on the 1600 meter relay, and Rudolph, Penelope White, Pearce and Gia Beaudin ran on the second place 400 relay.

Back with the Bobcat boys, Gannon Quinlan did his part by winning second place in the 200 meters, second in the pole vault, third in the 100 and running important legs on both winning relays.

The Superior record holder in the pole vault, George Hanson did not compete in the event in the 14C meet but did win second in the long jump, fourth in the 200 meters and ran the anchor leg on the winning 400 meter relay.

Turner Milender won fifth in the 200 meters and sixth in the 100, also running legs on both relays, Amarie Johnson won third in both the shot put and the discus, Tyler Mellen grabbed fourth place in the shot and sixth in the discus, Zaimon Firestone placed third in the 3200 meters and sixth in the pole vault, Jack Kemp claimed third in the pole vault, and Conrad Talbot took fourth in the 400 meters and sixth in the 800, besides running a leg on the 14C champion 1600 relay.
