BOULDER, Mont. — Personal bests, meet records, and top team performances highlighted the District 5B track & field meet at Jefferson High School in Boulder on Friday.<\/p>\n
It proved to be a productive day for the Manhattan boys, who claimed the district title with 150 team points.<\/p>\n
That included junior Brayden Zikmund, who recorded top times in the 100- (11.07 seconds) and 200-meter dash (22.88), with teammate Marshall Friese taking second and third in those events, respectively.<\/p>\n
Shot put star Brady Toner established a new personal best in his event of choice, landing a 53-foot, 8-inch toss to beat his previous top mark by nearly half a foot. Both distances would have been worthy of gold at the 2025 Class B state track meet.<\/p>\n
On the girls’ side, Jefferson dominated the district meet with 234 team points, more than doubling second-place Townsend (99 points).<\/p>\n
The Panther girls netted eight first-place finishes, including a time of 49.72 seconds in the 4×100 relay, a meet record and season best.<\/p>\n
Junior Mckinleigh Doherty had a hand in three gold medals, serving as the anchor of that as relay, as well as the winner in the 100-meter dash (12.69 seconds) and high jump (5 feet, 4 inches).<\/p>\n
Doherty also has the top leap in the Class B long jump this season at 18 feet, 9 3\/4 inches, though she had to settle for second (17 feet, 11 1\/2 inches) on Friday behind two-time state defending champion Kaitlyn Noyes of Townsend, who won the event with a season-best jump of 18 feet, 4 1\/4 inches. That mark would top her state record of 18 feet, 1\/2 inch established in 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BOULDER, Mont. — Personal bests, meet records, and top team performances highlighted the District 5B track & field…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":233303,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[6879,20009,22521,17441,1624,91533,11874,20694,20011,91534,75,84,83,9514,2642,9,24,63,12403,38233,319,20010,20008,20004,41509,12731],"class_list":["post-233302","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-manhattan","tag-6879","tag-big-sky","tag-boulder","tag-class-b","tag-district","tag-district-5b","tag-high-school","tag-jefferson","tag-local-sports","tag-long-jump","tag-manhattan","tag-manhattan-headlines","tag-manhattan-news","tag-montana","tag-montana-sports","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-panthers","tag-relay","tag-sports","tag-sports-montana","tag-swx","tag-tigers","tag-track","tag-track-field"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233302","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=233302"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233302\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/233303"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=233302"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=233302"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=233302"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
