By Doug Binder, DyeStat Editor

 
For the second time this season, freshman Annie Hill of Glacier HS in Kalispell has beaten senior Makena Morley from Bigfork.


On Thusrday, at the Capital City 7-on-7, which is a flighted event where the 1s (boys and girls together), 2s, 3s, etc. race separately, it was Hill coming from behind Morley and then putting her away in the final mile to win in 16:58. Hill beat Morley by 23 seconds. A few weeks back at the Mountain West meet, Hill bested Morley in just her second high school race.

Montana has never had a group of girls runners this talented and much of it was on display. Hill, Morley and Amanda Nelson of Billings Skyview (17:26) all ran well in the No. 1s race. Christina Aragon, the reigning AA state champion, dropped out because of illness. 


Morley's little sister, Bryn, won the No. 2s race in 17:18. 


Bozeman's girls, ranked fifth in the Northwest region, scored 14 combined points and won races 3-7. Flathead and Glacier tied for second with 29 points. 


Aidan Reed of Helena held off Belgrade's Jonathan Eastwood, 14:59 to 15:02 to win the boys No. 1s race. Reed closed in 4:50 over his final mile and did not pull away from Eastwood until 500 meters to go. 


Bozeman won the boys team competition as well, with wins in the Nos. 4, 6 and 7 races for a total of 15 points. Glacier was second with 17 and Missoula Hellgate and Helena tied for third with 29.
