2023 Track and Field State Qualifier List for April 26

Tuesday’s Russ Pilcher Top 10 track and field meet in Missoula offered a chance for the best athletes across all classifications in Western Montana to go head-to-head, setting up previews for the divisional meets next month. Athletes from the Flathead Valley won six of the total 36 events contested at the Missoula County Public Schools Stadium, but some of the biggest breakthroughs were from athletes that didn’t notch victories.

Full results from the Russ Pilcher Top 10 meet can be found here, but here are a few highlights:

• Columbia Falls junior Ally Sempf notched lifetime bests in the 200m and 400m.
• In the 300m hurdles, Columbia Falls’ Adam Schrader clocked 40.02 for the top Class A time in the state.
• Whitefish’s Maeve Ingelfinger, a national cross country ski champion, ran 2:24.76 in the 800m to qualify for state and rank 3rd in Class A.
• Glacier’s Jeff Lillard won the 400m with his first sub-50 second performance in high school. Lillard ties the state’s fastest time this season run by Gallatin’s Nash Coley.
• Kennedy Moore of Flathead won the high jump competition for the fourth time this season, tying her season best of 5′ 4.”
• Glacier freshman Owen Thiel ran 4:35.98 in the 1600m, smashing the freshman school record set by 2022 state champion Sam Ells.
• Glacier’s boys 4x100m relay team broke a 22-year old meet record, winning in 42.22 seconds.

Below are the state-qualified athletes from Western AA & A and District 7B schools.
