The Braves picked up 14 event wins across both teams against the Bruins on April 16.

Several senior girls had standout performances — Rebecca Eacker punched her way to the state meet in the shot put, throwing 35 feet, 3 inches, Skye Thompson finished runner-up in the 100m and 300m hurdles, and Tessa Smith set a personal best in the triple jump, winning by nearly three feet.

Flathead will host Helena in a dual meet on Friday.
