Once you get over the prai...
We made a last-minute decision to head to the Scottie Invitational instead of the meet in Missoula. They have been canceling a lot of sporting events with the recent wildfires that have been surrounding the area and the poor air quality. We thought it would be wise to stay in the area and for sure get a meet in, instead of risking the trip to Missoula with a chance of a cancellation. We had some great weather for the morning, so Ava Hanley and Shelbi LaBrie were ready to get some good times on the Scottie’s course. As the girls are warming u...

I was kind of just hanging out around the golf house when I overheard the Havre coach quickly tell the Malta coaches that the girls race is first not second.
