Under the leadership of senior Bryce Carver the Dillon Beavers tallied 21 points and a top-ten finish at the State A/C Track Meet which concluded Saturday at Bulldog Memorial Stadium in Butte.

Carver finished his high school career with a third-place finish in the 200-meter dash (22.83), a sixth-place in the 100 meters (11.42), and he anchored the second-place 400-meter relay team who clocked a 43.85.

Corvallis, who won the boys competition with 108 points, won the relay in 43.01 a day after erasing Anaconda's 43-flat Class record with a 42.74 in the trials.

First-place finishes by Dalton Sybrant in the discus (166-07), Slater Powell in the 110 hurdles (14.69), and Austin Byron in the pole vault (15-0) helped to catapult the Blue Devils into their gold-medal standing.

Laurel and Whitefish battled it out for second with Laurel taking home second place with 76 points. Whitefish scored 72.

Anaconda scored low in the team standings (8.5 points) but did have a strong performance from Marcus Fischer who tied for sixth in the pole vault at 13 feet.

Overall, the discus performances in Class A Saturday were not stellar. Sybrant, the winner from Corvallis, was only able to squeeze out 166 feet, seven inches, 15 feet off the class record of 182 feet, seven inches.

Paige Squire from Corvallis won the 200-meter dash but not before some mentally challenging issues she had to confront on Friday.

On Friday Squire crashed into a hurdle in the 300-meter race, a race she was expected to do well in. But after some counseling from her coach and family she managed to recover and win the 200 on Saturday.

Corvallis finished the meet with 22 total points.

For Butte Central Brianna Dudley added to her fifth-place finish on Friday in the 800 with a sixth place in the 1,600 meters. She clocked a 5:33.43.

The only other local girl to be given hardware on Saturday was Heather Tyler from Dillon who placed fifth in the discus with her throw of 108 feet, nine inches.
