Bozeman sweep x-c meet in Butte

BUTTE - Bozeman High’s cross country teams swept the Butte Invitational cross country meet on Saturday. The Hawk girls placed five runners in the top 10, led by sophomore Heidi Turner, who edged Butte’s Keli Dennehy by .42 seconds.

Last week at the Mountain West Classic in Missoula, Dennehy finished 13 seconds ahead of Turner.

On Saturday, Turner’s winning time was 17:45.20. Bozeman’s Katie Keith placed third and Mariah Schmidt (6th), Faith Steinbacher (8th) and Katie Gill (9th) also finished in the top 10.

Whitehall’s Chloe Palakovich was 10th and Harrison’s Shannon Young placed 12th.

Bozeman won by a 74-point margin over Helena, which totaled 101 points.

“The girls made a big step up today,” BHS head coach Clint May said. “They’ve had some good races this season, but this was big.”

Bozeman’s girls had the top eight finishers in the junior varsity race, which was the first race of the day, and placed 18 out of the top 20.

Michelle Cline was the overall winner in 19:54, which would have placed her 13th in the varsity race.

“That set the tone for the day,” May said.

The boys’ race was closer, but the Hawks defeated Helena Capital 73-107. Bozeman’s top runner was Jordan Schlender, who placed sixth. Ethan Wilhelm finished 14th with Ryan Dejarlais 15th and Akeo Mayfield-Carucci 17th.

Butte’s Ethan Shrader (15:56) earned the boys’ individual crown with Ennis’ Gavin Owens in second, seven seconds back. Manhattan’s Mike Asay placed third.
