Bulldogs split Cat-Dog meet in Columbia Falls

One week stands between the Bulldogs track and field team and the Western A Divisional tournament.

The Bulldogs last week competed in the Cat-Dog Invite at Columbia Falls and the highly competitive Archie Roe Invitational at Flathead.

The girls grabbed the team title at the C-Falls meet, just edging out the Wildkats 267-239.

The opposite was true for the boys, with Columbia Falls winning 346.5 to 249.5.

The girls had a number of first place winners in the dual, including Lauren Schulz in the 100 (13.13), Natasha Abramchuk in the 100 hurdles (17.39) and triple jump (32-4.75), Jadi Walburn in the 300 hurdles (52.65) and high jump (4-8), and Jennifer Patten in discus (99-6) and javelin (94-1).

On the boys side, Casey Schneider took first in the 800 (2:06.31), Bodie Smith first in the 110 hurdles (18.11) and Joseph Abramchuk first in the 300 hurdles (45.95).

Sam Menicke won triple jump (40-9.5) while Jack Eisenbarth won long jump (19-9) and high jump (5-8).

Then on Saturday the team competed against top teams in the Archie Roe invite.

As teams overall, the girls took sixth while the boys finished third.

The highlight for the boys was the 1,600 relay team’s first place finish (3:32.48) at the meet. Josh Dudley and Eisenbarth tied for the win in pole vault (13-6) and Keegan Wold won discus (136-3).

Schulz was the girls top finisher, taking third in both the 100 (13.14) and 200 (26.90).

Anna Cook took fourth in the 100 hurdles (16.95), while the 400 relay team took third overall (51.54).

Head coach Derek Schulz said he’s feeling good after how his team showed up at the meet.

“Both the boys and girls had strong showings at Archie Roe. We scored some points, our relays ran well — we had good things happen all the way across the event spectrum,” he said. “We competed at a really high level against really high competition, so it was a good test for us.”

This week the team will face off against Flathead in a home dual on Thursday before traveling south on Saturday for the Polson ABC Invitational.

Thursday’s meet has pole vault start at 2 and the rest of the meet starting at 3:30 p.m.

Schulz said this week is about building on a strong showing last weekend.

“It just put us in a good position. We probably could’ve scored more points at Archie Roe but we know what we left on the table. We kind of know what we need to do,” Schulz said, noting the way he’ll be approaching this week’s events.

“The way we look at these meets are that they’re tune ups for divisionals, and there’s only one day between them, so we look at them as two half meets. If we have an athlete that does five events, we’ll have them do three events on Thursday and three on Saturday.”
